HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Iota can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1, WMO header WTNT41 KNHC
and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT1.shtml.
 
RAINFALL:  The remnants of Iota are expected to produce the 
following additional rainfall accumulations through Thursday:
 
Portions of Honduras, Guatemala, southern Belize: 4 to 8 inches (100
to 200 mm), with isolated maximum totals of 12 inches (300 mm).
 
Portions of Nicaragua and El Salvador: 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm),
with isolated maximum totals of 6 inches (150 mm).
 
This rainfall will lead to significant, life-threatening flash
flooding and river flooding, along with mudslides in areas of higher
terrain.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Iota will affect much of the coast of
Central America and the Yucatan 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.

Although the system still has broad mid-level rotation, synoptic 
observations from Central America show that the surface circulation 
of Iota has dissipated.  Its remnants are located somewhere near El 
Salvador.

Although the remnants of Iota are likely to move into the eastern 
North Pacific during the next day or so, the global models do not 
show regeneration of the system over that basin.

Iota is still expected to produce very serious flash flooding and
mudslides, with potentially catastrophic effects, over 
portions of Central America.

This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center 
on Iota.

 
Key Messages:
 
1.  Life-threatening flash flooding and river flooding is expected
through Thursday across portions of Central America due to heavy
rainfall from the remnants of Iota.  Flooding and mudslides across 
portions of Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala could be exacerbated 
by saturated soils in place, resulting in significant to 
potentially catastrophic impacts.
