CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:
 
The Bermuda Weather Service has discontinued the Tropical Storm
Warning for Bermuda.
 
SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:
 
None.
 
 
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone 
Imelda was located near latitude 33.2 North, longitude 59.5 West. 
The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the east-northeast near 
29 mph (46 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue 
through tonight. A northeastward motion is then forecast on Friday 
and Saturday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast over the next few days, but 
the post-tropical cyclone will remain a large and powerful system 
as it moves across the central Atlantic.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the 
center, and gale-force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500 
km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Hurricane Imelda can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header
WTNT44 KNHC.
 
WIND: Gusty winds on Bermuda are expected to gradually subside
today.
 
SURF: Distant swells generated by Imelda are affecting the Bahamas,
Bermuda, and much of the U.S. East Coast. Swells from Imelda will
spread toward the Greater Antilles and northern Leeward Islands on
Friday and continue through the weekend. These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Imelda Discussion Number  24
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL092025
1100 AM AST Thu Oct 02 2025
 
Imelda is no longer a tropical cyclone. Visible satellite images and 
global model fields indicate that a front extends into the center of 
the cyclone from the east-northeast, while another frontal feature 
has developed to the south of the cyclone. This is consistent with 
overnight microwave data that showed Imelda taking the appearance of 
an occluded cyclone, as well as recent satellite trends that show 
the remaining convection is mainly focused along these fronts. 
Therefore, Imelda is classified as a 65-kt extratropical cyclone 
this morning, and this will be the final NHC advisory on the system.

Post-tropical Imelda is racing toward the east-northeast (075/25 
kt) away from Bermuda. The cyclone is expected to turn northeastward 
on Friday ahead of an amplifying upper-level trough over the 
northern Atlantic, then turn back toward the east-northeast by 
Sunday within the mid-latitude westerlies. The track guidance is in 
much better agreement than yesterday, and the NHC forecast lies near 
the center of the envelope between the HCCA and TVCA aids.

Baroclinic forcing from the upper trough will likely cause the 
cyclone to remain a large, storm-force low through the weekend. Even 
though the peak winds are forecast to gradually diminish, a large 
area of 34- and 50-kt winds will create hazardous marine conditions 
and large swell that will continue to affect an expansive portion of 
the western and central Atlantic.

Additional information can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by 
the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO 
header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at 
ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php
 
 
KEY MESSAGES:
 
1. Gusty winds over Bermuda will gradually subside today.
 
2. Swells and high surf from Imelda are expected to produce
dangerous marine conditions and rip currents along much of the East
Coast of the United States and the western Atlantic during the next
several days.
