DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Carlotta was estimated to be near near latitude 17.2 North, longitude 101.3 West. Carlotta is moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue into Monday. On the forecast track, the small core of Carlotta should move inland within the warning area by early Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast, and Carlotta is likely to become a tropical depression later today, and to degenerate into a remnant low on Monday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Carlotta is forecast to produce 3 to 6 inches of rainfall along the Guerrero and Michoaca coasts, including the city of Acapulco, with isolated higher amounts of 10 inches possible. These rains are likely to produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of higher terrain. Elsewhere across the states of Guerrero and Michoaca, rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches with isolated amounts of 4 inches are forecast. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are likely to spread westward along the warning area today. SURF: Swells generated by Carlotta are affecting portions of the coast of southern Mexico. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
