DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Elsa was
located near latitude 33.4 North, longitude 81.3 West. Elsa is
moving toward the northeast near 18 mph (30 km/h), and this general 
motion is expected to continue with an increase in forward speed 
during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, Elsa will
move over South Carolina and North Carolina today, pass near the 
eastern mid-Atlantic states by tonight, and move near or over the 
northeastern United States on Friday and Friday night.  The system 
should move over Atlantic Canada by Friday night and Saturday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. 
Some re-strengthening is possible tonight and Friday while the 
system moves close to the northeastern United States.  Elsa is 
forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone Friday night or Saturday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
mainly over water to the southeast of the center.  The NOAA station 
at Folly Island, South Carolina, recently reported sustained winds 
of 38 mph (61 km/h) and a wind gust of 46 mph (74 km/h).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).
