DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Teddy was located
near latitude 31.1 North, longitude 62.7 West. Teddy is moving
toward the north-northeast near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this motion is
expected to continue today, followed by a turn toward the north
overnight and north-northwest on Tuesday.  Teddy should turn to the
north-northeast as it approaches Nova Scotia on Wednesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Teddy is expected to gain strength overnight, but weaken
steadily by Wednesday and become a strong post-tropical cyclone.
 
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).
 
An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft recently reported a
minimum central pressure of 960 mb (28.35 inches).
