At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ana was located near latitude 35.7 North, longitude 60.5 West. Ana is moving toward the northeast near 12 mph (19 km/h) and this heading with an increase in forward speed is expected during the next day or so. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Slight weakening is expected over the next 24 hours and Ana is expected to dissipate by Monday. Tropicalstormforce winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).

Satellite images indicate that Ana has contracted significantly since yesterday and now has a compact area of moderate convection around the center. Given the tight low-level circulation, small radius of maximum wind, and compact central convection, Ana is now estimated to have transitioned from a subtropical storm to a tropical storm. The initial intensity remains 40 kt for this advisory based on the earlier ASCAT data, which indicated that the tropical-storm-force winds were confined to the south side of the circulation. Ana is not expected to be around much longer. The storm is headed for an environment of lower SSTs, drier air, and increasing wind shear. All of these factors should cause the compact cyclone to lose strength and ultimately open into a trough in 24 to 36 hours. In fact, some of the models suggest that the storm could dissipate even sooner than that. The remnants of Ana will likely be absorbed by a cold front on Monday. The storm continues to increase its forward speed, and the initial motion is now estimated to be 045/10 kt. A faster motion to the northeast is expected until the cyclone dissipates.
