located near latitude 39.8 North, longitude 60.9 West. Melissa is

and a turn toward the east are expected on Monday, with that motion

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Gradual weakening is expected, and Melissa is forecast to become a
post-tropical remnant low by tonight or early Monday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
COASTAL FLOODING:  Minor to moderate coastal flooding will occur
along some portions of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and southeastern coast
today around times of high tide.

SURF:  Swells generated by Melissa are affecting much of the U.S.
east coast, portions of the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Atlantic Canada.
These swells will result in life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
