At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Teddy
was located near latitude 51.0 North, longitude 57.3 West based on 
the Marble Mountain, Newfoundland, radar and surface observations 
along the west coast of Newfoundland.  The post-tropical cyclone 
is moving toward the north-northeast near 32 mph (52 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.  

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 975 mb (28.80 inches).
By the Sea, Newfoundland (near the Cow Head Lighthouse) reported a 
barometric pressure of 979 mb (28.91 inches).
