    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Paulette was
    located near latitude 21.5 North, longitude 49.1 West. Paulette is
    moving toward the west-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A
    west-northwestward or northwestward motion with some increase in
    forward speed is expected through the weekend.

    Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h)
    with higher gusts. Some additional slight weakening is expected
    during the next day or so, but Paulette is then forecast to
    restrengthen by Saturday. Paulette could become a hurricane by
    Sunday or Monday.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km)
    from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    SURF: Swells generated by Paulette are expected to reach portions
    of the Leeward Islands tonight and Friday and will continue
    to spread westward to portions of the Greater Antilles, Bahamas,
    Bermuda, and the southeastern United States into the weekend. These
    swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
    conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
