THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM EMILY WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 15.3 NORTH, LONGITUDE 63.7 WEST. EMILY HAS SLOWED DOWN AND IS NOW MOVING TOWARD THE WEST NEAR 14 MPH. A TURN TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST WITH A GRADUAL DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. ON THE FORECAST TRACK THE CENTER OF EMILY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA TODAY AND APPROACH HISPANIOLA TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS REMAIN NEAR 40 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SOME SLOW STRENGTHENING IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO BEFORE EMILY INTERACTS WITH LAND. TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 70 MILES FROM THE CENTER. MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE REPORTED BY THE AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT WAS 1007 MB. ATTACHED ALSO IS THE FLASH REPORT FOR TS EMILY.
