DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was
located near latitude 13.9 North, longitude 98.9 West.  Ileana is
moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h).  A turn to
the northwest is forecast tonight with an additional increase in
forward speed expected over the next few days.  On the forecast
track, the center of Ileana should move parallel to, and offshore
of, the coast of southwestern Mexico through Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Some additional strengthening is expected through
Monday, but the storm is forecast to dissipate by Wednesday as it
comes under the influence of a larger cyclone to its west and
southwest.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch
area late Monday and Tuesday.

RAINFALL:  Ileana is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches over coastal sections of the Mexican states of
Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco, with possible isolated
maximum amounts of 6 inches through Tuesday night.  These rains may
cause flash flooding.

SURF:  Swells generated by Ileana will be affecting portions of
the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next couple of days.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather
office.
