Hurricane Teddy Special Discussion Number 15
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL202020
300 AM AST Wed Sep 16 2020

Teddy has rapidly intensified overnight. Satellite images show an
eye has formed, and satellite intensity estimates are between 77-
90 kt. The initial wind speed is set to 80 kt as a blend of these
data. Further strengthening is expected and Teddy could become a
major hurricane later today or Thursday. The intensity forecast
has been raised considerably in the short-term based on current
trends, and could have to revised upward on the regular 5 am
advisory.

No changes to the track forecast are needed.
