DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Teddy was located
near latitude 29.0 North, longitude 63.4 West. Teddy is moving
toward the north-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h). A turn toward the 
north is expected tonight, and Teddy is then forecast to continue
generally northward for another couple days. On the forecast track,
Teddy will approach Bermuda tonight, and the center should pass east
of the island Monday morning.  Teddy is forecast to be approaching 
Nova Scotia late Tuesday or Wednesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Little change in strength is forecast, and the system is 
expected to remain a large and powerful hurricane through Tuesday, 
then become a strong post-tropical cyclone on Wednesday.
 
Teddy is a large hurricane.  Hurricane-force winds extend outward 
up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force 
winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 964 mb (28.47 inches).
