DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Teddy was
located near latitude 15.0 North, longitude 48.3 West. Teddy is
now moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue into the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 70 mph (110 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast, and Teddy
is expected to become a hurricane overnight. Teddy could then be
near major hurricane strength in a few days.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 992 mb (29.30 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
———————-
SURF: Large swells generated by Teddy are expected to reach the
Lesser Antilles and the northeastern coast of South America on
Wednesday and should spread westward to the Greater Antilles, the
Bahamas, and Bermuda by Friday. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
