At 900 PM GMT (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Martin was located near latitude 50.5 North, longitude 34.5 West. The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north-northeast near 58 mph (93 km/h). A slower northward to north-northwestward motion is expected tonight, followed by a much slower turn toward the east on Friday. An eastward to east-southeastward motion is then anticipated into the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher gusts. Martin's peak sustained winds will slowly decrease over the next few days, but it will continue to produce strong winds over a very large area well into the weekend.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 520 miles (835 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 950 mb (28.06 inches).

Land Hazards

SURF: Swells generated by post-tropical Martin will likely spread across a large portion of the high-latitude North Atlantic basin, affecting portions of Atlantic Canada, the Azores, and the Atlantic coast of Europe by the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
