1. The most significant hazards expected from Teddy now are dangerous waves and high winds for Newfoundland, and Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect for parts of southwestern Newfoundland.

2. Very large swells produced by Teddy are expected to affectportions of Bermuda, the Leeward Islands, the Greater Antilles, theBahamas, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canadaduring the next couple of days. These swells are expected to causelife-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

At 800 PM AST (0000 UTC), the center of PostTropical Cyclone Teddy based on the Marble Mountain, Newfoundland radar and conventional satellite imagery was located near latitude 49.7 North, longitude 59.2 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 should move closer to the northwestern Newfoundland coast tonight and into the Labrador Sea on Thursday before merging with a larger extratropical low.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast before the system merges with the extratropical low on Thursday. A weather station located at Stephenville, Newfoundland recently reported a gust to 47 mph (76 km/hr).

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.

Teddy is accelerating over the northeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence and will move over the Strait of Belle Isle later, while continuing to fill/decay as an extratropical cyclone. The initial intensity is set at 45 kt, and this is based on the various surface wind and pressure observations along the west coast of Newfoundland from Channel-Port aux Basques northward to Port Saunders and the Straits. Teddy is forecast to maintain its current intensity and motion, with some further increase in forward speed, and merge with a larger, stronger high-latitude extratropical low near the Labrador Sea on Thursday.

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

This will be the last NHC advisory on Teddy. For additional information, including warnings, consult products issued by Environment Canada at: weather.gc.ca/hurricane/index_e.html
