MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Tropical Depression Danielle is continuing to drop heavy rain across eastern Mexico, but should dissipate by Tuesday.

At 10:30 p.m., the center of Danielle was about 30 miles west-northwest of Tuxpan, Mexico.

The storm's maximum sustained winds were down to 35 mph.

Danielle is moving west at about 8 mph and this general motion is expected to continue Monday night and Tuesday.

Rapid weakening is expected overnight and the system is expected to fall apart by Tuesday morning.

The government of Mexico has discontinued all Tropical Storm Warnings. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

Some slight strengthening is forecast before Danielle makes landfall in Mexico later today.

Danielle is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 16 inches possible in higher terrain over the Mexican states of Veracruz, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, Hidalgo and northern Puebla.  These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.
