At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Max was
located near latitude 16.8 North, longitude 101.5 West. Max is
moving toward the north near 6 mph (9 km/h) and this motion is
expected to continue today and Tuesday.  On the forecast track, Max 
should make landfall later today within the warning area, then move 
farther inland over southern Mexico.
 
Satellite wind data indicate that the maximum sustained winds have 
increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.  Max could 
get a little stronger before making landfall later today, with 
rapid weakening expected by this evening.  Max should dissipate 
over Mexico on Tuesday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).

Key messages for Max can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP1 and WMO header WTPZ41 KNHC

RAINFALL:  Max is expected to produce rainfall totals of 4 to 8
inches with local maxima of 12 inches through Tuesday across the
states of Guerrero, Michoacan and the coastal sections of western
Oaxaca in southwest Mexico. These rains will likely produce flash
and urban flooding, along with possible mudslides in areas of
higher terrain near the coast.
 
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are occurring in the warning area 
and expected to overspread the warning area throughout the day.

SURF:  Swells generated by Max will affect the southern coast of 
Mexico for the next day or two.  These swells are likely to cause 
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult 
products from your local weather office.
