MELISSA BECOMES A POWERFUL POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER THE NORTHWEST ATLANTIC

According to the NHC advisory number 41

The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the northeast near 48 mph (78 km/h). This general motion is expected to continue into Saturday, followed by a gradual slowdown and turn toward the east-northeast later this weekend. On the forecast track, the center of Melissa is expected to pass to the southeast of the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland as a post-tropical cyclone tonight.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next few days.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 973 mb (28.74 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND: Gusty winds over Bermuda will gradually subside this morning. Gusty winds are possible over the southern Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland tonight.

RAINFALL: A brief period of heavy rain is possible over the southern Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland tonight.

SURF: Swells generated by Melissa will continue to affect portions of Hispaniola, Cuba, the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Bermuda during the next couple of days. These swells are expected to reach the coast of the Northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada today and persist into the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
