    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone
    Josephine was located near latitude 40.0 North, longitude 65.8 West.
    The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the northeast near 17 mph
    (28 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue with a faster
    forward speed 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. Strengthening is forecast through tonight, and Josephine is
    expected to become a powerful extratropical cyclone with
    hurricane-force winds tonight or early Friday.

    Winds of 40 mph (60 km/h) extend outward up to 415 miles (665 km)
    from the center. NOAA buoy 44001 located north of the center
    recently reported sustained winds of 49 mph (79 km/h) and a wind
    gust of 58 mph (94 km/h).

    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 this evening. 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.
