Dolores is moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). A motion toward the northwest and then north-northwest at a increasing forward speed is expected tonight through Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Dolores is expected to cross the coast of southwestern or west-central Mexico within the warning area Saturday afternoon. Dolores is then expected to move north-northwestward just inland of the west-central coast of Mexico Saturday night and Sunday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is anticipated through Saturday as the center of Dolores approaches the coast of Mexico. Weakening is forecast once the center moves inland, and Dolores is expected to become a remnant low on Sunday and dissipate by early Monday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km) to the north and northeast of the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).

RAINFALL: Dolores will produce heavy rains over coastal sections of the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, Jalisco, and Nayarit during the next few days, with rainfall totals of 6 to 10 inches expected with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches possible. A s a result, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides may occur. STORM SURGE: A storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding near and to the east of where the center makes landfall. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Swells generated by Dolores will affect portions of the southwestern coast of Mexico through the weekend.
