DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM PDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Iselle was
located near latitude 17.9 North, longitude 115.0 West. Iselle is
moving toward the northeast near 5 mph (7 km/h) and this
general motion is expected to continue through tonight.  A
northward and then northwestward motion is expected during the
weekend.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Little change in strength is expected today, 
but a gradual weakening trend should begin tonight.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Iselle and a large area of southwesterly
winds to its south are affecting portions of the southwestern coast
of Mexico.  These swells are expected to spread northward along
the coast of west-central Mexico and the southern Baja California
peninsula through Sunday, and will likely cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult products from your
local weather office.
