Tropical Cyclone Hudhud continues to move toward the eastern coast of India and it is not intensifying more rapidly.\u00a0 At 2:00 p.m. EDT the center of Hudhud was located at latitude 15.9\u00b0N and longitude 86.5\u00b0E, which put it about 230 miles east-southeast of Visakhapatnam, India.\u00a0 Hudhud was moving toward the northwest at 7 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 100 m.p.h. and there were gusts to 120 m.p.h.<\/p>\n
A high pressure system located northeast of Hudhud is likely to continue to steer it toward the west-northwest or northwest until it reaches India.\u00a0 Wind shear over Hudhud has decreased and the tropical cyclone is intensifying and it could intensify steadily until it makes landfall.\u00a0 Hudhud will approach the coast of India near Visakhapatnam in about 36 hours and it will be a strong tropical cyclone when it gets there.\u00a0 In addition to strong winds and heavy rain, Hudhud could also produce a significant storm surge along the coast.<\/p>\n
