SUMMARY OF 1100 AM AST...1500 UTC...INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.


DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Joaquin was
located near latitude 41.0 North, longitude 45.6 West. Joaquin is
moving toward the east-northeast near 35 mph (56 km/h) and this
motion is expected to continue for the next day or two with some
decrease in forward speed forecast on Friday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 70 mph (110 km/h)
with higher gusts. Some weakening is forecast during the next 48
hours. Joaquin is forecast to lose tropical characteristics
this evening, and to become a large extratropical cyclone by
Thursday.

Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 978 mb (28.88 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Joaquin will continue to affect Atlantic
Canada during the next day or so. Swells affecting much of the
eastern coast of the United States are now mostly associated with a
non-tropical area of low pressure over the Western Atlantic, and
these swells are expected to continue for the next day or two.
Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions are likely in
association with these swells. Please consult products from your
local weather office.
