DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Idalia was located near latitude 31.9 North, longitude 67.9 West. Idalia is moving toward the east-southeast near 17 mph (28 km/h), and this general trajectory at a slower forward speed is expected through Saturday. A turn toward the east and then northeast is forecast late Saturday and Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Idalia will move near or to the south of Bermuda on Saturday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is fore-
cast through early Saturday. Restrengthening is possible over the weekend, and Idalia is expected to transition back to a tropical storm on Saturday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 240 miles (390 km) from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda by Saturday.
RAINFALL: Idalia is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches, or 75 to 125 millimeters, across Bermuda through Sunday night. The heavy rainfall will likely cause areas of flash and urban flooding on the island.
SURF: Swells generated by Idalia will affect the southeastern U.S. coast and Bermuda during the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
