DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Paulette was located
an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft and Bermuda radar
near latitude 31.7 North, longitude 64.4 West. Paulette is moving
toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h). Paulette is forecast to
continue moving northwestward this morning and then turn northward
by this afternoon. A faster motion toward the northeast is expected
this afternoon through Wednesday. On the forecast track, the eye of
Paulette will pass over Bermuda within the next few hours.
 
Data from the reconnaissance aircraft indicate that maximum
sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Some
strengthening is forecast as Paulette moves closer to Bermuda this
morning and continuing into the afternoon. Additional strengthening
is likely when Paulette turns northeastward and moves away from
Bermuda tonight through Tuesday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175
miles (280 km). Winds have steadily increased on Bermuda during the
past few hours and will continue to increase this morning. An
observing station at the National Museum of Bermuda recently
reported a wind gust to 96 mph (155 km/h). A weather observing
station at Pearl Island reported a wind gust of 70 mph (113 km/h)
while a reporting station at the Bermuda Heliport measured a wind
gust to 72 mph (116 km/h).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from the
hurricane hunter plane is 973 mb (28.73 inches).

significant coastal flooding on Bermuda in areas of onshore winds.
Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and
destructive waves.
 
RAIN:  Paulette will bring periods of heavy rain to Bermuda through
