DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Beatriz was located near latitude 19.4 North, longitude 105.1 West. Beatriz is moving toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h) and this general motion with a gradual decrease in forward speed is expected through tonight. On the forecast track, the center of Beatriz is expected to move near or over portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico through this morning. Beatriz is then expected to move away from the west-central coast of Mexico later today into Sunday. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued weakening is expected during the next couple of days. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Beatriz can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP2 and WMO header WTPZ42 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/miatcdep2.shtml WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the tropical storm warning area today, and are possible within the tropical storm watch areas today or tonight. RAINFALL: Through Monday, storm total rainfall of 3 to 5 inches, with maximum amounts of 8 inches, is expected across portions of southern and western Mexico from Colima northwest to Sinaloa and Durango in association with Beatriz. This rainfall could lead to localized flash flooding and mudslides. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce significant coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Swells generated by Beatriz are forecast to spread northward along the southwestern coast of Mexico during the next day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
