DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Josephine
was located near latitude 19.1 North, longitude 60.2 West. Josephine
is moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue for the next day or two
followed by a turn toward the northwest early next week.  On the 
forecast track,  the center of Josephine is expected to pass to the 
northeast of the Leeward Islands today and tonight.
 
Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft 
indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Little change in strength is expected through 
today.  After that, Josephine is expected to weaken as it 
encounters unfavorable upper-level winds.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
to the north of the center.
 
The minimum central pressure estimated from the Hurricane Hunter 
aircraft data is 1008 mb (29.77 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Josephine is expected to cause storm-total rainfall of
1 to 3 inches over portions of the northern Leeward Islands, the
Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.  Isolated minor flooding is
possible in Puerto Rico through Monday.
