    expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within the
    next 12 to 24 hours.

    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Rick was located
    near latitude 16.3 North, longitude 101.7 West. Rick is moving
    toward the north near 5 mph (7 km/h), and a slightly faster motion
    toward the north-northwest or north is expected over the next day or
    so. On the forecast track, the center of Rick will approach the
    coast of Mexico through tonight and make landfall on the coast of
    Mexico within the hurricane warning area Monday morning.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
    gusts. Some slight strengthening is possible as Rick nears the
    coast of Mexico. After landfall, rapid weakening is expected,
    and Rick is forecast to dissipate over the mountainous terrain of
    southern Mexico Monday night or Tuesday.

    Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the
    center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles
    (130 km).

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    Key messages for Rick can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
    Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP2, WMO header WTPZ42 KNHC,
    and on the web at http://www.hurricanes.gov

    WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the Hurricane
    Warning area beginning tonight, with tropical storm conditions
    expected within the next couple of hours. Tropical storm conditions
    are expected to begin inside a portion of the Tropical Storm
    Warning areas within the next couple of hours.

    STORM SURGE: A storm surge is expected to produce significant
    coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds near and to the east of
    where the center of Rick makes landfall in southwestern Mexico.
    Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and
    destructive waves.

    RAINFALL: Rick is expected to produce 5 to 10 inches of rain with
    isolated storm total amounts of 20 inches across coastal sections of
    the Mexican states of Guerrero and Michoacan through Tuesday. This
    heavy rainfall will likely produce flash flooding and mudslides.

    SURF: Swells generated by Rick will affect portions of the
    southwestern coast of Mexico during the next day or two. These
    swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
    conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
