located inland over northern Guatemala near latitude 17.3 North,

The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.35 inches).

should continue to spread westward over northern Guatemala and
southeastern Mexico this afternoon.

of 8 to 12 inches over portions of Belize, Guatemala, and the
Mexican states of Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and
