Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h)

tonight.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Through the middle of the week, Amanda or its remnants are
expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 15 inches over
El Salvador, southern Guatemala, western Honduras, and the Mexican
states of Tabasco and Veracruz. This system is also expected to
produce 5 to 10 inches of rain over northwestern Nicaragua, Belize,
and the Mexican states of Quintana Roo, Campeche, Chiapas, and
Oaxaca. Isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches are possible in El
Salvador, southern Guatemala, Tabasco, and Veracruz. This rainfall
may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
