DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK

At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ana was
located near latitude 34.1 North, longitude 78.9 West.  Ana is
moving toward the north near 5 mph (7 km/h) and a turn toward the
northeast with a gradual increase in forward speed is expected over
the next 48 hours.  On the forecast track, the center of Ana will
move over eastern North Carolina later today and tonight.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Ana is expected to weaken to a tropical depression later today.

Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within portions of the
warning area for the next few hours.

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 northeast 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.
