DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Peter was 
located near latitude 19.9 North, longitude 64.7 West. Peter is 
moving toward the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h). A 
west-northwest motion is expected to continue today.  A turn to the 
north with a decrease in forward speed is expected beginning 
tomorrow.  On the forecast track, the center of Peter is currently 
passing north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today and 
should move well east of the southeastern Bahamas during the next 
few days.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with
higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast over the next several
days. Peter is expected to weaken to a tropical depression by
tonight and then degenerate to a remnant low by Thursday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb (29.77 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Rainfall around the southern periphery of Tropical Storm
Peter could produce additional rainfall totals of 1 to 4 inches,
with storm total accumulations up to 6 inches, across portions of
the Northern Leeward Islands, including portions of the Virgin
Islands, as well as Puerto Rico and the northern portions of
Hispaniola through Thursday morning. This rainfall may lead to areas
of urban and small stream flooding.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Peter are affecting the northern Leeward
Islands and Puerto Rico, and will continue spreading westward to
Hispaniola later today and the Bahamas on Wednesday.  These swells
could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.
