Hurricane Gonzalo is now an extratropical cyclone, having lost its tropical characteristics due to cold sea-surface temperatures and strong veritcal wind shear. The post-tropical cyclone is centered at 5 p.m. EDT/AST over the far northern Atlantic Ocean about 560 miles northeast of St. Johns, Newfoundland, moving toward the east-northeast at 52 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 80 mph. Only gradual weakening is expected during the next 48 hours. The post-tropical cyclone is forecast to merge with another low over the North Atlantic north of the British Isles in a couple of days. This is the last advisory to be issued by NHC regarding Gonzalo. Additional information on this system can be found in the high seas forecasts on NOAAs Ocean Prediction Center website at opc.ncep.noaa.gov/.
