DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 1000 AM EST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kate was
located near latitude 30.2 North, longitude 74.7 West. Kate is
moving toward the northeast near 21 mph (33 km/h), and this general
motion is expected to continue today with an increase in forward
speed. A turn toward the east-northeast and a further increase in
forward speed are expected tonight and Wednesday. 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.

Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate
that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 70 mph (110
km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during
the next day or so, and Kate is forecast to become a hurricane by
tonight.

Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.

The latest minimum central pressure based on data from the aircraft
is 999 mb (29.50 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells from Kate affecting the eastward-facing beaches in the
northwestern Bahamas should gradually subside today. 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.
