    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Teddy was located
    near latitude 29.0 North, longitude 63.4 West. Teddy is moving
    toward the north-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h). A turn toward the
    north is expected tonight, and Teddy is then forecast to continue
    generally northward for another couple days. On the forecast track,
    Teddy will approach Bermuda tonight, and the center should pass east
    of the island Monday morning. Teddy is forecast to be approaching
    Nova Scotia late Tuesday or Wednesday.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher
    gusts. Little change in strength is forecast, and the system is
    expected to remain a large and powerful hurricane through Tuesday,
    then become a strong post-tropical cyclone on Wednesday.

    Teddy is a large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward
    up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force
    winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km).

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 964 mb (28.47 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

    Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC
    and on the web at https://www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml.

    WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to affect Bermuda
    tonight and could continue into Monday night. Tropical storm
    conditions could begin over Nova Scotia on Tuesday afternoon.

    SURF: Large swells generated by Teddy are affecting Bermuda, the
    Lesser Antilles, the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, the east coast
    of the United States, and Atlantic Canada. These swells are likely
    to cause life- threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
    consult products from your local weather office.

    RAINFALL: From Tuesday through Thursday, Teddy is expected to
    produce rainfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) with
