DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM GMT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Theta was
located near latitude 31.9 North, longitude 24.9 West. Theta is
moving toward the east near 12 mph (19 km/h).  The cyclone should 
turn toward the east-southeast and slow its forward speed today.  A 
continued slow east-southeastward motion is then expected through 
the weekend followed a turn sharply toward the north by early next 
week.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is forecast during the next 12 hours or 
so.  Afterward, weakening is expected through the weekend, and 
Theta is expected to become a remnant low on Sunday and dissipate 
in 5 days.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 993 mb (29.33 inches).
