DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Matthew was
located near latitude 17.8 North, longitude 74.4 West. Matthew is
moving toward the north near 9 mph (15 km/h) and this general
motion is expected to continue today. A turn toward the
north-northwest is expected by Wednesday, followed by a northwest
turn Wednesday night. On the forecast track, the center of Matthew
will pass near or over southwestern Haiti during the next few
hours, move near eastern Cuba later today, and move near or over
portions of the southeastern and central Bahamas tonight and
Wednesday, and approach the northwestern Bahamas Wednesday night

Maximum sustained winds are near 145 mph (230 km/h) with higher
gusts. Matthew is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity are possible
during the next couple of days, but Matthew is expected to remain a
powerful hurricane through at least Wednesday night.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles
(295 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 934 mb (27.58 inches).
