At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Odette was 
located near latitude 36.4 North, longitude 71.2 West. Odette is 
moving toward the northeast near 10 mph (17 km/h).  A faster 
east-northeast to northeast motion is expected this weekend.  On the 
forecast track, the center of Odette will move away from the U.S. 
Mid-Atlantic coast and pass south of Atlantic Canada over the 
weekend.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and
Odette is expected to become a strong post-tropical low by Saturday
night.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1010 mb (29.83 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Odette are affecting portions of
the United States Mid-Atlantic coast and are expected to spread
northward to portions of the U.S. Northeast and Atlantic Canada
coasts during the weekend.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
