DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Joaquin was
located near latitude 41.5 North, longitude 41.0 West. Joaquin is
moving toward the east near 37 mph (59 km/h), and an eastward to
east-northeastward motion is expected to continue for the next day
or two with some decrease in forward speed forecast on Friday.
Maximum sustained winds remain near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Joaquin
is forecast to lose tropical characteristics this evening, and to
become a large extratropical cyclone by Thursday.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 977 mb (28.85 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Joaquin will continue to affect Atlantic
Canada during the next day or so. Swells affecting much of the
eastern coast of the United States are now mostly associated with a
non-tropical area of low pressure over the western Atlantic, and
these swells are expected to continue for the next day or two.
Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions are likely in
association with these swells. Please consult products from your
local weather office.
