At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of PostTropical Cyclone Teddy was located near latitude 48.6 North, longitude 59.6 West. The posttropical cyclone is moving toward the northnortheast near 31 mph (50 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through Thursday. On the forecast track, the center of Teddy will move closer to northwestern Newfoundland tonight and into the Labrador Sea on Thursday before becoming absorbed by a larger nontropical low.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast before the system dissipates on Thursday.

Tropicalstormforce winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 975 mb (28.80 inches).

Teddy is moving quickly north-northeastward just west of Newfoundland this afternoon as a decaying extratropical low. Maximum winds from an earlier scatterometer pass were about 50 kt, and the winds have probably come down based on pressure data from Meat Cove as the storm left Nova Scotia, so the initial wind speed is set to 45 kt. Little change in intensity is expected overnight as Teddy races near northwestern Newfoundland and southeastern Labrador overnight. The storm is then forecast to move across the Labrador Sea on Thursday and become absorbed into a powerful extratropical low, where hurricane-force winds are forecast southwest of Greenland. No changes were made to the previous track or intensity forecasts.

Even after Teddy passes Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, large swellscreating dangerous rip currents will linger over much of thesouthwestern Atlantic basin for the next few days.
