THE ESTIMATED INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 30 KT BASED ON A FEW SURFACE OBSERVATIONS THAT HAVE SHOWN DECREASING WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. THE CYCLONE WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND SHOULD DISSIPATE TONIGHT OR EARLY TUESDAY OVER THE SIERRA MADRE ORIENTAL MOUNTAINS. SATELLITE DATA SUGGESTS THAT INGRID HAS FINALLY TURNED WESTWARD. A TURN TO THE WEST-SOUTHEST IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING AND THIS MOTION SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL DISSIPATION. INGRID AND ITS REMNANTS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TORRENTIAL RAINS ACROSS EASTERN AND CENTRAL MEXICO DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
