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.
