located near latitude 17.6 North, longitude 101.0 West. Max is

Rapid weakening is expected as Max moves inland, with the storm
expected to dissipate over Mexico on Tuesday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) 
from the center. In the past few hours, a surface observing station 
at Puerto Vicente Guerrero reported a sustained wind of 41 mph (66
