DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Teddy was located 
near latitude 26.0 North, longitude 59.0 West.  Teddy is moving 
toward the northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this general motion 
is expected to continue through tonight.  A turn toward the north or 
north-northeast is expected on Sunday, followed by a northward 
motion into early next week.  On the forecast track, Teddy will 
approach Bermuda on Sunday and the center will pass just east of the 
island late Sunday and early Monday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph (195 km/h) with higher 
gusts.  Teddy is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson 
Hurricane Wind Scale.  Some slow weakening is expected over the next 
couple of days.  A more pronounced decrease in Teddy's maximum winds 
is forecast to begin early next week.  
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles
(370 km). The wind field of the hurricane is forecast to increase 
substantially starting on Sunday night.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 958 mb (28.29 inches).
