On the forecast track, Teddy will approach Bermuda on Sunday night,

gusts. Teddy is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson

today.

Teddy is a large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up
to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds
extend outward up to 255 miles (405 km). Teddy`s wind field is
likely to become even larger over the next few days. NOAA buoy
