THE CENTER HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO LOCATE AS THE CENTRAL CONVECTION HAS DIMINISHED...WITH THE SITUATION BEING COMPLICATED BY THE UPPER-LEVEL PORTION OF THE STORM POSSIBLY MOVING ON A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK THAN THE LOW-LEVEL PORTION. THE INITIAL MOTION IS A SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN 265/10. FELIX SHOULD CONTINUE A GENERAL WESTERLY MOTION UNTIL THE CENTER DISSIPATES OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL AMERICA IN 24-36 HR. THE MAJOR CONCERN IS NOW THE THREAT OF PRECIPITATION ENHANCED BY THE STEEP TOPOGRAPHY OF CENTRAL AMERICA...AND THE RESULTING FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES. SOME LOCATIONS COULD SEE RAINFALL TOTALS AS HIGH AS 25 INCHES. THEREFORE...PERSONS LOCATED IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS SHOULD TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY.
