DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ana was
located by NOAA Doppler weather radar and surface observations near
latitude 33.8 North, longitude 78.7 West. Ana is moving toward the
north-northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h). A turn toward the north is
expected to occur later today, followed by a turn toward the
northeast with a gradual increase in forward speed on Monday. On the
forecast track, the center of Ana should move onshore in the
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area within the next couple of hours.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours as the center
moves inland.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)
from the center. During the past few of hours, NOAA buoy 41013,
located about 35 miles (55 km) south-southeast of Cape Fear North
Carolina, and a WeatherFlow observing site at Oak Island, North
Carolina,reported a sustained wind of 38 mph (61 km/h) with a gust
to 47 mph (76 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure based on nearby surface
observations is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within portions of the
warning area today.

STORM SURGE:  The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause
normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters.
The water could reach 1 to 2 ft above ground at times of high tide
in coastal areas from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina southward
through South Carolina.  For information specific to your area,
please see products issued by your local National Weather Service
forecast office.

RAINFALL:  Ana is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 2 to
4 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches over eastern
portions of North Carolina and South Carolina through Monday.

SURF:  Swells generated by Ana are affecting portions of the
southeastern U.S. coast.  These swells will likely cause life-
threatening surf and rip currents.  Please see statements issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.
