DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Orlene was
located near latitude 17.0 North, longitude 107.2 West. Orlene is
moving toward the north near 5 mph (7 km/h). Orlene is forecast to
have a slight increase in forward speed overnight and move toward
the north-northeast on Saturday and Saturday night.
Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts. Steady to rapid strengthening is expected through Saturday
night, and Orlene is forecast to become a hurricane overnight or
Saturday.
Orlene remains a small tropical cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds
extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible in Las Islas Marias on
Sunday, with tropical storm conditions possible Saturday night and
Sunday. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area
by early Sunday. Tropical storm conditions are possible along the
coast of mainland Mexico Saturday night and Sunday.
RAINFALL: Into Monday evening, Orlene is expected to produce 3 to 5
inches of rainfall, with local amounts of 10 inches, for portions of
southwestern Mexico. These rainfall amounts should lead to flash
flooding, as well as possible landslides in areas of rugged terrain.
STORM SURGE: Coastal flooding is likely along the coast of Mexico
in the warning area in regions of onshore winds.
SURF: Large swells generated by Orlene will affect the coast of
southwestern Mexico, and the extreme southern portion of the Baja
California peninsula by this weekend. These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.
