DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

forward speed is expected through Friday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher

but Oscar is expected to become a powerful extratropical low over
the north-central Atlantic Ocean by late Wednesday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the

(150 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 972 mb (28.71 inches).
