inches with local maxima of 12 inches through today across the
state of Nayarit, southern portions of the state of Sinaloa, and
coastal portions of the state of Jalisco in western Mexico. These

will gradually subside overnight.
 
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are occuring in portions of the

the Baja California peninsula through today. These swells are likely
