A faster northeastward to east-northeastward motion is forecast by

winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts.  Gradual 
weakening is forecast during the next couple of days.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 300 miles (480 km)

The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
