At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Hernan was
located near latitude 18.3 North, longitude 105.8 West. Hernan is
moving toward the north near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this general 
motion is expected to continue tonight. A turn toward the northwest
is forecast on Thursday, followed by a west-northwestward motion on 
Friday.  On the forecast track, the center of Hernan, along with 
the strongest winds and heaviest rains, is expected to remain just 
offshore of the southwestern coast of Mexico.
 
Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next day or 
so. A weakening trend is expected to begin late Thursday night, and 
Hernan is forecast to become a remnant low Friday night.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km),
mainly to the south and southwest of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).
