DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Teddy
was located near latitude 44.8 North, longitude 62.3 West. The
post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north-northeast near 23
mph (37 km/h), and this motion with an increase in forward speed is
expected for the next day or so.  On the forecast track, the center
will move over eastern Nova Scotia soon, and then near or over
Newfoundland by tonight, and be east of Labrador on Thursday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some weakening is forecast during the next day or so, but
Teddy should remain a strong post-tropical cyclone while passing
over Nova Scotia and near Newfoundland.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 520 miles (835 km)
from the center.  A sustained wind of 39 mph (63 km/h) and a gust to
51 mph (81 km/h) were recently reported at Hart Island along the
eastern coast of Nova Scotia.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 963 mb (28.44 inches).

STORM SURGE:  A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce
significant coastal flooding near and to the east of where the

will be accompanied by very large and destructive waves.
 
SURF:  Large swells generated by Teddy are affecting Bermuda, the
Lesser Antilles, the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, the east coast
of the United States, and Atlantic Canada. These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
 
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are occurring in the Nova Scotia
warning area.  Tropical storm conditions could begin in the
watch areas later this morning.  Tropical storm conditions are
expected to begin in the Newfoundland warning area this afternoon.
 
RAINFALL: Through Thursday, Teddy is expected to produce rainfall
accumulations of 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) with isolated totals
of 6 inches (150 mm) across sections of Atlantic Canada.
