DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kate was
located near latitude 33.9 North, longitude 69.5 West. Kate is
moving toward the northeast near 35 mph (56 km/h).  A turn toward
the east-northeast with an additional increase in forward
speed is expected by Wednesday morning.  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 possible during the next 24 hours, and
Kate could still become a hurricane tonight or early Wednesday.
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 90 miles (150 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 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.
