DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 600 PM MDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Pamela was
located near latitude 21.5 North, longitude 108.9 West. Pamela is 
moving toward the north-northeast near 9 mph (15 km/h). A faster 
northeastward motion is expected to begin overnight and continue 
through late Wednesday.  On the forecast track, the center of 
Pamela will pass well south of the southern tip of the Baja 
California peninsula through tonight, and make landfall in 
west-central Mexico within the hurricane warning area Wednesday 
morning.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Restrengthening is forecast overnight, and Pamela is 
expected to become a hurricane again before it reaches the coast 
of west-central Mexico Wednesday morning.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 989 mb (29.21 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Pamela can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP1 and WMO header WTPZ41 KNHC,
and on the web at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep1.shtml?key_messages.
 
STORM SURGE:  Storm surge is expected to produce significant
coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds near where the center
of Pamela makes landfall in southwestern Mexico.  Near the coast,
the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.
 
WIND:  Hurricane conditions are expected within the Hurricane
Warning area by late tonight or early Wednesday, with tropical
storm conditions beginning later this evening. Tropical storm 
conditions, primarily in gusts, are possible within the Tropical 
Storm Watch area in Baja California del Sur through this evening.
 
RAINFALL: Through Thursday, Pamela is expected to produce the
following rainfall amounts:
 
Across the Mexican States of Sinaloa, western Durango, and northern
Nayarit...4 to 8 inches with isolated maximum totals of 12 inches.
This rainfall may trigger significant and life-threatening flash
flooding and mudslides.
 
Across southern portions of Baja California Sur...2 to 4 inches
with isolated maximum totals of 6 inches.
 
Across portions of central Texas and southeastern Oklahoma...3 to 6
inches with isolated maximum totals of 8 inches. 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 
and west-central mainland Mexico through Wednesday. These swells are 
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. 
Please consult products from your local weather office.
