At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Vicky was
located near latitude 20.6 North, longitude 31.0 West. Vicky is
moving toward the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and a turn
toward the west-northwest is expected on Wednesday, followed by a 
turn toward the west on Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
Weakening is forecast due to strong upper-level winds during the
