products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1200 AM CST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Xavier was
located near latitude 18.4 North, longitude 105.8 West. Xavier is
moving toward the north-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h). A turn
toward the west-northwest at a similar forward speed is expected
today, followed by a westward motion by Tuesday. On the forecast
track, Xavier's center is expected to remain offshore the coast of
southwestern Mexico and begin to move farther away from the coast
later today.

Recent satellite wind data indicate that the maximum sustained
winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is
forecast during the next few days, and Xavier is expected to
degenerate into a remnant low on Tuesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Xavier is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 1 to 3 inches over coastal sections of the Mexican states of
Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco through Monday. Isolated
maximum amounts of 4 inches are possible over Michoacan and Colima.
This rainfall may produce flooding.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area through this morning.

SURF: Swells generated by Xavier will affect portions of the coast
of southwestern Mexico during the next few days. These swells
are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
