    At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Idalia
    was located near latitude 32.0 North, longitude 62.7 West. Idalia
    is moving toward the east-northeast near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this
    general motion is expected to continue through tonight. A turn
    toward the northeast and then north at a faster forward speed is
    expected through early next week. Idalia will continue moving away
    from Bermuda tonight.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
    Little change in strength is forecast during the next few days.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km)
    from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches).
