DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Peter 
was located near latitude 20.8 North, longitude 65.3 West.  The 
depression is moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h).  A 
turn to the north is expected by late tomorrow, followed by a 
north-northeastward or northeastward motion through the end of the 
week.  On the forecast track, the center of Peter will continue 
moving away from the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico through early 
Wednesday. 
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some gradual weakening is expected during the next couple of days, 
and Peter is forecast to degenerate into a remnant low by Thursday.
 
Nearby NOAA buoy observations indicate the estimated minimum central 
pressure is 1009 mb (29.80 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Rainfall around the southern periphery of Peter could 
produce additional rainfall totals of 1 to 4 inches, with storm 
total accumulations up to 6 inches, across portions of the Virgin 
Islands, Puerto Rico, and 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 Virgin Islands,
Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola, and will continue spreading westward to
the Bahamas on Wednesday.  These swells could cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.
