RAINFALL:  Pilar is expected to produce additional rainfall of 1 to
2 inches, with local amounts to 4 inches, mainly in portions of El
Salvador and southern Guatemala overnight.  The additional rainfall
may produce flash and urban flooding, along with mudslides in areas
of higher terrain.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Pilar and strong winds near the Gulf of
Tehuantepec are expected to continue affecting the Pacific coast of
Central America during 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.
