Kate is moving toward the northeast near 30 mph (48 km/h). A turn toward the east-northeast and an increase in forward speed are expected by tonight, and this fast east-northeastward motion is expected to continue through Wednesday night. On the forecast track, the center of Kate is expected to remain well offshore of the east coast of the United States and pass north of Bermuda tonight and early Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next day or so, and Kate is expected to become a hurricane tonight. Kate is forecast to lose tropical characteristics Wednesday night or Thursday, but remain a powerful cyclone through that time. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells from Kate will begin to affect Bermuda tonight and continue through Wednesday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
