DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 400 PM EST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kate was
located near latitude 32.2 North, longitude 72.7 West. Kate is
moving toward the northeast near 30 mph (48 km/h). A turn toward the
east-northeast and an increase in forward speed are expected by
tonight, and this fast east-northeastward motion is expected to
continue through Wednesday night. On the forecast track, the center
of Kate is expected to remain well offshore of the east coast of the
United States and pass north of Bermuda tonight and early Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next day or so, and
Kate is expected to become a hurricane tonight. Kate is forecast to
lose tropical characteristics Wednesday night or Thursday, but
remain a powerful cyclone through that time.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells from Kate will begin to affect Bermuda tonight and
continue through Wednesday. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
