DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM MST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was
located near latitude 24.3 North, longitude 109.2 West.  Ileana is
moving toward the north near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this 
general motion is expected to continue today.  A slower motion 
toward the north-northwest and northwest is expected tonight and on 
Sunday.  On the forecast track, the center of Ileana will move near 
or over the coasts of northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora later 
today, and then move over the Gulf of California roughly parallel 
to the coast on Sunday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Weakening is forecast to begin later this afternoon or evening, and 
Ileana is likely to degenerate into a remnant low tonight.  The 
remnant low is expected to dissipate by early Monday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).
