DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM EDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Mindy was
located near latitude 30.5 North, longitude 84.0 West. Mindy is
moving toward the northeast near 20 mph (31 km/h), and an
east-northeastward to eastward motion is expected to continue over
the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Mindy 
is expected to move across the northern Florida Peninsula and 
southeastern Georgia overnight and into the Atlantic this morning.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Gradual weakening is expected as Mindy moves over land and
into an area of unfavorable upper-level winds.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
mainly to the southeast of the center.  Sustained winds of 43 mph 
(68 km/h) and a gust to 55 mph (89 km/h) were measured at an 
observing site near Shell Point, Florida, a couple of hours ago. A 
wind gust to 38 mph (61 km/h) was recently reported at Tallahassee, 
Florida.
