STORM SURGE:  Storm surge along portions of the coast of Sinaloa

WIND:  Wind gusts atop and on the windward side of hills and
mountains may still reach tropical-storm force through this evening.
 
RAINFALL: Pamela is expected to produce an additional 1 to 3 inches 
of rain across the Mexican States of Durango and Nayarit through 
tonight.

Across portions of central Texas and southeastern Oklahoma, 3 to 6 
inches of rain with isolated maximum totals of 8 inches are expected 
through Thursday. This may result in considerable flash and urban 
flooding impacts.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Pamela will continue to affect portions
of the southern Baja California peninsula, as well as southwestern

are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
