DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 600 AM MDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Orlene was
located near latitude 17.4 North, longitude 107.0 West. Orlene is
moving toward the north near 5 mph (7 km/h). A north-northeastward
motion at a slightly faster speed is expected to begin by tonight
and continue through early next week. On the forecast track, the
center of Orlene should pass near or over Las Islas Marias Sunday 
night or Monday morning and reach the coast of mainland Mexico 
later on Monday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Steady strengthening is expected through Sunday, and Orlene
is forecast to become a hurricane later today.  Steady weakening is
expected to begin by Sunday night.
 
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 Sunday
night, with tropical storm conditions possible by late Sunday.
Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area by early
Sunday. Tropical storm conditions are possible along the coast of
mainland Mexico within the tropical storm watch area tonight 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
Southwest 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 through this weekend. These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.
