DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Paulette was
located near latitude 39.5 North, longitude 55.0 West. Paulette is
moving toward the east-northeast near 30 mph (48 km/h), and this
general motion with a further increase in speed is expected through
Thursday. Afterward, Paulette is forecast to slow down and turn
toward the south-southeast and south late Thursday and Friday.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 100 mph (155 km/h)
with higher gusts. Rapid weakening is forecast to begin on
Wednesday as the cyclone undergoes extratropical transition and
moves over much cooler water. Paulette should complete its
transition to an extratropical cyclone Thursday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 275 miles
(445 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.65 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Paulette will continue to affect
Bermuda and portions of the east coast of the United States into
Wednesday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf
and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.
