    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Subtropical Storm Josephine
    was located near latitude 39.2 North, longitude 67.3 West. The storm
    is moving toward the northeast near 12 mph (19 km/h), and this
    motion, along with an increase in forward speed, is expected to
    continue into tonight. A gradual turn toward the east is forecast 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 additional strengthening is forecast through the day
    today while Josephine begins to transition to an extratropical
    cyclone. Josephine is expected to become a powerful extratropical
    cyclone with hurricane-force winds tonight or early Friday.

    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 today. 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.
