DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Odette was located near latitude 38.5 North, longitude 67.3 West.  Odette is moving toward the northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h).  A turn toward the east-northeast at a faster forward speed is expected by this evening.  Odette should then slow down and turn toward the east and southeast on Monday and Tuesday.  On the forecast track, the center of Odette will pass south of Atlantic Canada Sunday and Monday.  Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next day or two, and Odette is expected to become a strong post-tropical low by tonight.  Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km) from the center.  The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).   HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF:  Swells generated by Odette are affecting portions of the United States Mid-Atlantic coast and are expected to spread northward to portions of the U.S. Northeast and Atlantic Canada coasts during the weekend.  These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
