DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Imelda was located near latitude 24.7 North, longitude 77.1 West.  Imelda is moving toward the north near 9 mph (15 km/h), and a faster northward motion is expected tonight continuing through Monday.  On Tuesday, Imelda is expected to turn sharply to the east-northeast.  On the forecast track, the center of the system is expected to move across the central and northwestern Bahamas tonight and Monday and then turn east-northeastward, moving away from the southeastern U.S. by the middle part of this week.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.  Strengthening is expected during the next few days, and Imelda is forecast to become a hurricane by late Monday or Tuesday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)from the center.
