About this product:

This graphic shows an approximate representation of coastal areas under a hurricane warning (red), hurricane watch (pink),
tropical storm warning (blue) and tropical storm watch (yellow). The orange circle indicates the current position of the
center of the tropical cyclone. The black line, when selected, and dots show the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast track of the center
at the times indicated. The dot indicating the forecast center location will be black if the cyclone is forecast to be
tropical and will be white with a black outline if the cyclone is forecast to be extratropical. If only an L is displayed,
then the system is forecast to be a remnant low. The letter inside the dot indicates the NHC’s forecast intensity for that time:

D: Tropical Depression – wind speed less than 39 MPH
S: Tropical Storm – wind speed between 39 MPH and 73 MPH
H: Hurricane – wind speed between 74 MPH and 110 MPH
M: Major Hurricane – wind speed greater than 110 MPH

NHC tropical cyclone forecast tracks can be in error. This forecast
uncertainty is conveyed by the track forecast “cone”, the solid white
and stippled white areas in the graphic. The solid white area depicts
the track forecast uncertainty for days 1-3 of the forecast, while the
stippled area depicts the uncertainty on days 4-5. Historical data
indicate that the entire 5-day path of the center of the tropical
cyclone will remain within the cone about 60-70% of the time. To
form the cone, a set of imaginary circles are placed along the
forecast track at the 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h positions,
where the size of each circle is set so that it encloses 67% of the
previous five years official forecast errors. The cone is then formed
by smoothly connecting the area swept out by the set of circles.

It is also important to realize that a tropical cyclone is not a point. Their
effects can span many hundreds of miles from the center. The area
experiencing hurricane force (one-minute average wind speeds of at least
74 mph) and tropical storm force (one-minute average wind speeds of
39-73 mph) winds can extend well beyond the white areas shown enclosing
the most likely track area of the center. The distribution of hurricane
and tropical storm force winds in this tropical cyclone can be seen in
the Wind History graphic linked above.

Considering the combined forecast uncertainties in track, intensity, and size, the
chances that any particular location will experience winds of 34 kt (tropical storm force),
50 kt, or 64 kt (hurricane force) from this tropical cyclone are presented in

tabular form for selected locations and forecast positions. This information is also presented in
graphical form for the 34 kt, 50 kt,
and 64 kt thresholds.

Note:  A detailed definition of the NHC track forecast cone is also available.

...TINY ENRIQUE HANGING ON TO TROPICAL CYCLONE STATUS WHILE MOVING 
INTO THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA...


SUMMARY OF 900 PM MDT...0300 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...23.8N 109.1W
ABOUT 80 MI...130 KM NE OF CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...40 MPH...65 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 315 DEGREES AT 12 MPH...19 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1003 MB...29.62 INCHES


WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Enrique was
located near latitude 23.8 North, longitude 109.1 West. Enrique is
moving toward the northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h) and this motion is
expected to continue for the next day or so followed by a slight 
turn to the left. 

Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Enrique is expected to weaken to a tropical depression 
tomorrow and dissipate on Thursday near the Baja California 
Peninsula. 

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Enrique can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP5, WMO header WTPZ45
KNHC, and on the web at
www.hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep5.shtml?key_messages.

RAINFALL: Enrique is expected to produce additional rainfall totals
of 2 to 4 inches with maximum amounts of 6 inches across Sinaola,
western Durango and southern Chihuahua in western Mexico and 1 to 2
inches with maximum amounts of 4 inches across the southern portions
of Baja California Sur.  These rainfall totals may trigger flash
flooding and mudslides.

SURF:  Swells generated by Enrique will affect the southwestern
coast of Mexico, as well as portions of the Gulf of California and
the coast of the southern Baja California Peninsula during the next
day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf
and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.

About this product:

This graphic shows an approximate representation of coastal areas under a hurricane warning (red), hurricane watch (pink),
tropical storm warning (blue) and tropical storm watch (yellow). The orange circle indicates the current position of the
center of the tropical cyclone. The black line, when selected, and dots show the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast track of the center
at the times indicated. The dot indicating the forecast center location will be black if the cyclone is forecast to be
tropical and will be white with a black outline if the cyclone is forecast to be extratropical. If only an L is displayed,
then the system is forecast to be a remnant low. The letter inside the dot indicates the NHC’s forecast intensity for that time:

D: Tropical Depression – wind speed less than 39 MPH
S: Tropical Storm – wind speed between 39 MPH and 73 MPH
H: Hurricane – wind speed between 74 MPH and 110 MPH
M: Major Hurricane – wind speed greater than 110 MPH

NHC tropical cyclone forecast tracks can be in error. This forecast
uncertainty is conveyed by the track forecast “cone”, the solid white

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Dolores 
was located inland near latitude 21.3 North, longitude 104.2 West. 
Dolores is moving toward the north-northwest near 20 mph (32 km/h), 
and this general motion is expected to continue through tonight. On 
the forecast track, the center of Dolores will move farther inland 
across the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco, and Durango.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Additional rapid weakening is forecast, and
Dolores is expected to dissipate over west-central Mexico by Sunday.

Surface observations indicate that the minimum central pressure has 
risen to 1001 mb (29.56 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key messages for Tropical Depression Dolores can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP4, WMO
header WTPZ44 KNHC, and on the web
at www.hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep4.shtml?key_messages.

WIND:  Wind gusts to near tropical storm force will likely continue 
over coastal sections of west-central Mexico to the south of Puerto 
Vallarta through this evening.

of 6 to 10 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches across 
coastal sections of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan, 
Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit, and southern Sinaloa through the weekend. 
This will likely produce life-threatening flash flooding and 
mudslides.
