DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ana was
located by NOAA Doppler weather radar and surface observations near
latitude 34.0 North, longitude 78.9 West. Ana is moving toward the
north-northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h).  A turn toward the north is
expected later today, followed by a turn toward the northeast with a
gradual increase in forward speed on Monday.  On the forecast track,
the center of Ana will move over eastern North Carolina later today
and tonight.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near near 40 mph (65 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Continued weakening is forecast during the next
day or so as the center moves over land, and Ana should become a
tropical depression later today.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)
from the center.  Kure Beach, North Carolina recently reported a
wind gust to 45 mph (75 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure based on nearby surface
observations is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within portions of the
warning area this morning.

STORM SURGE:  The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause
normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters.
The water could reach 1 to 2 ft above ground at times of high tide
in coastal areas from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina southward
through South Carolina.  For information specific to your area,
please see products issued by your local National Weather Service
forecast office.

RAINFALL:  Ana is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 2 to
4 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches over eastern
portions of North Carolina and South Carolina through Monday.

SURF:  Swells generated by Ana are affecting portions of the
southeastern U.S. coast.  These swells will likely cause life-
threatening surf and rip currents.  Please see statements issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.
