DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Philippe was
located near latitude 16.1 North, longitude 58.7 West. Philippe is
moving toward the west near 7 mph (11 km/h). A west-northwestward
to northwestward motion is expected to begin today and continue
into tonight.  A turn toward the northwest with an increase in
forward speed is expected on Monday, followed by a northward
motion on Tuesday.  On the forecast track, the center of Philippe
is forecast to pass near or just northeast of the northern Leeward
Islands on Monday and Monday night.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next 48 
hours, and Philippe could begin to intensify more significantly 
around the middle of the week.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 170 miles (275 km), 
primarily east of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches) 
based on dropsonde data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter 
aircraft.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch areas by
Monday morning.
