    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Idalia
    was located near latitude 31.6 North, longitude 64.4 West. Idalia
    is moving toward the east-southeast near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this
    general motion is expected through today. A faster northeastward
    motion is forecast to begin on Sunday, and this motion should
    continue into Monday. On the forecast track, Idalia will remain
    near Bermuda today, and then begin to move away from the island
    tonight and Sunday.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher
    gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next few
    days. Idalia could transition to a subtropical storm later today.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 miles (350 km)
    from the center. A sustained wind of 46 mph (74 km/h) and a gust
    to 56 mph (91 km/h) were reported at St. George's Pier on Bermuda.
    An elevated observing site at the National Museum of Bermuda
    recently reported sustained winds of 64 mph (104 km/h) with a gust
    to 79 mph (128 km/h).

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    Key messages for Idalia can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
    Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC,
    and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml

    WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda through
    early Sunday.

    RAINFALL: Idalia is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 1 to 3
    inches, or 25 to 75 millimeters, across Bermuda through the weekend.
    The heavy rainfall may 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.
