DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 PM CDT (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dolores was
located inland over Mexico near latitude 19.5 North, longitude 
103.9 West.  Dolores is moving faster toward the north-northwest 
near 16 mph (26 km/h), and this general motion is expected to 
continue through tonight.  On the forecast track, the center of 
Dolores will move farther inland across the Mexican states of 
Jalisco and Nayarit.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is expected this afternoon 
and tonight while the center moves inland over the mountainous 
terrain of west-central Mexico.  Dolores is likely to dissipate 
over west-central Mexico on Sunday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
from the center.  An inland station in the mountains at Sierra 
Manantlan reported a wind gust to 67 mph (108 km/h) during the past 
few hours.  A station at Colima reported a wind gust to 52 mph (84 
km/h).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.41 inches).
