    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Subtropical Storm Josephine
    was located near latitude 37.7 North, longitude 69.4 West. The storm
    is moving toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h). A turn
    toward the northeast with an increase in forward speed is expected
    tomorrow, followed by an eastward motion on Friday and into the
    weekend. On the forecast track, Josephine should move away from the
    United States and remain south of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland
    during the next couple of days.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
    gusts. Some strengthening is forecast while Josephine remains a
    subtropical storm through early Thursday. Further strengthening is
    likely later on Thursday, and Josephine could become a post-tropical
    cyclone with hurricane-force winds.

    Winds of 40 mph extend outward up to 415 miles (665 km) from the
    center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 988 mb (29.18 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    WIND: Gale-force winds are possible in gusts along portions of the
    northeastern United States coast through Thursday. See products
    issued by your local National Weather Service office for more
    details.

    COASTAL FLOODING: Minor to locally moderate coastal flooding is
    ongoing along portions of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast and will
    continue through the rest of the week around times of high tide.
    Please refer to products issued by your local National Weather
    Service forecast office for more information.

    SURF: Large swells generated by Josephine are affecting much of the
    eastern seaboard of the United States and portions of Atlantic
    Canada. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and
    rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
    weather office.
