HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Selma is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 2 to 5 inches over El Salvador, southern Guatemala, and southern Honduras through Sunday.

Tropical storm conditions, primarily in gusts, are possible within the watch area early this morning. Winds should diminish by late morning in the warning and watch areas. SURF: Swells generated by Selma are affecting portions of the coasts of Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
