The depression may produce total rainfall accumulations of 3 to 5 inches across the southwest Mexican states of Jalisco...Colima and Michoacan... with isolated maximum amounts of 8 inches possible. This rainfall may produce life threatening flash floods and mudslides.

Repeating the 800 am PDT position...16.4 N...106.7 W. Movement toward...northwest near 8 mph. Maximum sustained winds...35 mph. Minimum central pressure...1008 mb.


We've recorded .54 in. of steady but gentlle rain this morning and gray, overcast skies seem to promise more today. This morning's weather seems to have come from a fractured piece of the larger storm, which is still south of us. It's a comfortable 81F/27C right now, with 77% humidity and a nice breeze blowing off the ocean.

I'm curious about the weather where all of you are right now.
