DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was
located near latitude 14.6 North, longitude 99.7 West.  Ileana is
moving faster toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h).  An
additional increase in forward speed with a turn toward the
northwest is expected over the next day or so.  On the forecast
track, Ileana's center is forecast to move parallel to and offshore
of the coast of southwestern Mexico through Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Additional strengthening is forecast through today,
but Ileana is forecast to dissipate by Tuesday night or Wednesday
due to its proximity to much-larger Tropical Storm John located to
its west and southwest.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area late Monday through early 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.
