expected to continue for the next couple of days.  On the forecast
track, this system should be nearing the Leeward Islands this
weekend.
 
Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Little change in strength is likely during the next 48

before it reaches the Leeward Islands.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).
