DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Subtropical Storm Ana was
located near latitude 34.2 North, longitude 62.5 West.  The storm is
moving toward the west-southwest near 3 mph (6 km/h).  A continued
slow and erratic motion is expected through tonight, followed by a
faster northeastward motion on Sunday and Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Little change in strength is forecast today, but gradual
weakening is expected tonight and Sunday.  Ana is expected to
dissipate in a couple of days.

Winds of 40 mph extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km) north of
the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).

LOW Moves Inland in Texas

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently 
developed Subtropical Storm Ana, located about 180 miles northeast 
of Bermuda.

1. Surface observations and radar data indicate that the area of low 
pressure previously over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico has moved 
inland over southeastern Texas.  Therefore, tropical cyclone 
formation is not expected.  However, the system could produce heavy 
rainfall over portions of southeastern Texas and southwestern 
Louisiana today.  Given the complete saturation of soils with 
ongoing river flooding along the Texas and Louisiana coastal areas, 
these rains could lead to flash, urban, and additional riverine 
flooding across this region.  Additional information on the rainfall 
and flooding potential can be found in products issued by your 
local National Weather Service Forecast Office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent.
