DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Julia was
located near latitude 12.4 North, longitude 86.9 West.  Julia is
moving toward the west near 16 mph (26 km/h).  A westward or 
west-northwestward motion with some decrease in forward speed is 
expected tonight and on Monday.  On the forecast track, the center 
of Julia will move off the Pacific coast of Nicaragua soon and then 
move close to and parallel to the Pacific coasts of Honduras, El 
Salvador, and Guatemala tonight and on Monday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast, but Julia is 
expected to remain a tropical storm near the Pacific coast of 
Central America through early Monday.  Julia is expected to 
dissipate by Monday night.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are likely occuring along
the Pacific coast of Nicaragua and should spread to the Pacific
coasts of Honduras and El Salvador this evening and tonight.
Tropical storm conditions are possible along the Pacific coast of
Guatemala on Monday.
 
RAINFALL:  Julia is expected to produce the following rainfall
accumulations through Tuesday:
 
Nicaragua and El Salvador...5 to 10 inches, isolated 15 inches.
Honduras, Belize, northern Guatemala, and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
in Mexico...3 to 6 inches, isolated 10 inches.
Southern Guatemala...4 to 8 inches, isolated 12 inches.
Costa Rica...an additional 2 to 4 inches, isolated 12 inch storm
total amounts.
 
This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides
across Central America today and Monday.  Flash flooding is
anticipated across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico early this
week.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Julia continue to affect Providencia and
San Andres Islands and the Caribbean coast of Central America, but
should gradually subside through Monday night.  Swells not caused by
Julia are expected to affect the Pacific coast of Central America
during the next few days.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
