DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Hernan was 
located near latitude 19.1 North, longitude 106.2 West. Hernan is 
moving toward the north-northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h). A turn to the 
northwest along with an increase in forward speed is expected to 
occur by tonight. A turn to the west is forecast this weekend. 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 are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. 
Iselle is expected to begin weakening on Friday, and the system is 
forecast to degenerate into a remnant low on Saturday and be 
absorbed by the circulation of Hernan to its west on Sunday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).
