DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Amanda was
located near latitude 14.7 North, longitude 90.3 West. Amanda is
moving toward the north-northeast near 9 mph (15 km/h). A 
north-northeastward or northward motion is expected through this 
evening.  A turn toward the northwest is forecast to occur on 
Monday. On the forecast track, the center of Amanda will move 
farther inland over Guatemala today.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Weakening should begin very soon while the center moves farther
inland.  The cyclone is expected to degenerate into a remnant low
or dissipate over the mountains of Central America later today or
tonight.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).

 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

RAINFALL: Through the middle of the week, Amanda or its remnants are
expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 15 inches over
El Salvador, southern Guatemala, western Honduras, and the Mexican
states of Tabasco and Veracruz. This system is also expected to
produce 5 to 10 inches of rain over northwestern Nicaragua, Belize,
and the Mexican states of Quintana Roo, Campeche, Chiapas, and
Oaxaca. Isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches are possible in El
Salvador, southern Guatemala, Tabasco, and Veracruz. This rainfall
may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
