across portions of Southwest Mexico through Tuesday:
 
Northern Nayarit and southern Sinaloa: 3 to 6 inches with local
amounts of 10 inches.
 
Southwest Durango: 1 to 3 inches with local amounts of 5 inches.
 
These rainfall amounts should lead to flash flooding, as well as
possible landslides in areas of rugged terrain.
 
SURF:  Large swells generated by Orlene will affect the
southwestern coast of Mexico, southern portions of the Baja
California peninsula and the Gulf of California through tonight.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
