across portions of Southwest Mexico through Tuesday:

Northern Nayarit and southern Sinaloa: 3 to 6 inches with local
amounts of 10 inches.

Southwest Durango: 1 to 3 inches with local amounts of 5 inches.

These rainfall amounts should lead to flash flooding, as well as
possible landslides in areas of rugged terrain.

SURF:  Large swells generated by Orlene will affect the
southwestern coast of Mexico, southern portions of the Baja
