At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Two-E
was located near latitude 13.0 North, longitude 90.6 West. The
depression is moving toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h),

expected after landfall, and the cyclone is likely to dissipate
over the mountains of Central America Sunday night or Monday,
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).
