was located near latitude 38.6 North, longitude 38.2 West. The
post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the west-southwest near 9 mph
(15 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue for the next 
day or two.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Slow weakening is forecast for the next day or two. The remnants of 
Gaston are forecast to dissipate within the next 48 h.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).

Post-Tropical Cyclone Gaston Discussion Number  23

Gaston lacks organized deep convection and has become post-tropical.
Organized convection is not expected to redevelop due to hostile
upper-level winds and a dry surrounding environment. Therefore, this
is the final NHC advisory. ASCAT data valid at 2353 UTC indicated
peak winds between 30-35 kt on the north side of Gaston. Assuming a
little undersampling may have occurred, the initial intensity was 
set on the high end of those estimates at 35 kt.
 
Gaston is forecast to move generally west-southwestward for the next
day or so, steered by a low- to mid-level ridge that extends across
most of the northern Atlantic. Since deep convection is not expected
to redevelop and no baroclinic forcing is expected to otherwise
sustain the remnants of Gaston, the cyclone should gradually spin
down until it dissipates in about 48 h. No significant changes were
made to the NHC track or intensity forecast.
