At 300 AM MDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Hernan was 
located near latitude 18.6 North, longitude 106.0 West. Hernan is 
moving toward the north near 5 mph (7 km/h), and this general motion 
is expected to continue this morning. A turn toward the northwest is 
forecast by this afternoon, followed by a west-northwestward motion 
on Friday.  On the forecast track, the center of Hernan, along with 
the strongest winds and heaviest rains, is expected to remain just 
offshore of the southwestern coast of Mexico.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the 
next day or so. A weakening trend is expected to begin by early 
Friday, and Hernan is forecast to become a remnant low Friday night.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
from the center, mainly to the south and southwest of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).
