    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dolores was
    located near latitude 17.9 North, longitude 103.4 West. Dolores is
    moving faster toward the north-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and
    this motion is expected to continue until landfall. Dolores is
    forecast to make landfall along the southwestern coast of Mexico
    within the next few hours.

    Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (100 km/h)
    with higher gusts. Additional intensification is possible prior to
    landfall, and Dolores is forecast to be near hurricane intensity
    when it makes landfall later today. Rapid weakening is expected
    after landfall, and Dolores is expected to dissipate by the end of
    the weekend.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
    from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.35 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    WIND: Tropical storm conditions are likely occurring within the
    warning area, and outside preparations should be complete.
    Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area
    within the next few hours. Tropical storm conditions are possible
    within the tropical storm watch area this evening through Sunday
    morning.

    RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Dolores will produce heavy rainfall of 6
    to 10 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches across
    coastal sections of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan,
    Colima, Jalisco, and Nayarit through the weekend. This will likely
    produce life threatening flash flooding and mudslides.

    Additionally, 3 to 5 inches of rainfall with isolated maximum
    amounts of 8 inches are expected for western Oaxaca, as well as
    southern Sinaloa. This may produce life threatening flash flooding.

    STORM SURGE: A storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding
    near and to the east of where the center makes landfall. Near the
    coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.

    SURF: Swells generated by Dolores will affect portions of the
    southwestern coast of Mexico through the weekend. These swells are
    likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
    Please consult products from your local weather office.
