DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Amanda was
located inland over southeastern Guatemala near latitude 14.2 
North, longitude 90.4 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.  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 is expected to begin this morning 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.
 
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).

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,
