DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
———————-
At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Teddy was located
near latitude 28.0 North, longitude 62.7 West. Teddy is moving
toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h), and a northwestward
motion will likely resume by this afternoon. A turn toward the north
is expected tonight and then Teddy is forecast to continue generally
northward for another couple days. On the forecast track, Teddy will
approach Bermuda tonight, and the center should pass east of the
island Monday morning.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 105 mph (165 km/h)
with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected today.
Teddy is expected to remain a large and powerful hurricane through
Monday, then become a strong post-tropical cyclone on Tuesday.
Teddy is a large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up
to 80 miles (130 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds
extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from an Air
Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is 964 mb (28.47 inches).
