Oscar is moving toward the northeast near 22 mph (35 km/h). A faster north- northeast to northeast motion is expected during the next few days. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Oscar is expected to become an extratropical low over the north-central Atlantic Ocean by tonight. Although gradual weakening is expected during the next several days, Oscar is expected to remain a powerful post-tropical cyclone over the north-central and northeastern Atlantic Ocean into the weekend. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 982 mb (29.00 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Large swells generated by Oscar will affect Bermuda through today. Please consult products from your local weather office, as these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
