At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Madeline was 
located near latitude 19.3 North, longitude 107.9 West.  Madeline is 
moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h).  A turn toward the 
west-northwest at a similar forward speed is expected on Monday, 
followed by a turn toward the west by Tuesday night.  On the 
forecast track, the center of Madeline will gradually move away from 
the coast of Mexico through Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some slight strengthening is possible through Monday morning.
Weakening is expected to begin by Monday night, and Madeline is
forecast to become a remnant low on Tuesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Madeline can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP4 and WMO
header WTPZ44 KNHC and on the web at
hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDEP4.shtml.

RAINFALL:  Outer bands from Madeline are forecast to produce 
rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with local maximum totals of 6 
inches into Monday across mainly coastal portions of the following 
Mexican States: Colima, Jalisco, and Nayarit.

These heavy rains may produce localized flash and urban flooding, 
along with possible mudslides in areas of higher coastal terrain. 

SURF:  Swells generated by Madeline will affect the southwestern
coast of Mexico for the next couple of days, and will spread
northward to the southern Baja California peninsula coast and the
coast of west-central Mexico tonight and Monday.  These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Please consult products from your local weather office.
