moving toward the northeast near 20 mph (31 km/h)  and an
east-northeastward to eastward motion is expected to continue over 
the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Mindy is

few hours, then move across the northern Florida Peninsula and 
southeastern Georgia into the Atlantic by tomorrow morning.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Gradual weakening is expected as Mindy moves over land and into an 
area of unfavorable upper-level winds.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
mainly to the southeast of the center.  The Tyndall Air Force Base 
tower south of Apalachicola recently reported sustained winds of 49
