On the forecast track, the center of Arthur will begin moving away from the North Carolina Outer Banks this afternoon. Arthur is then forecast to turn away from the east coast of the United States tonight and Tuesday. Reports from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft indicate that the maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours. Little change in strength is expected Tuesday night and Wednesday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km) from the center, primarily over water to the east of the center. NOAA buoy 41025 located about 20 miles (30 km) southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, reported sustained winds of 43 mph (68 km/h) with a gust to 49 mph (80 km/h). The latest minimum central pressure estimated from reconnaissance aircraft data is 996 mb (29.42 inches).

SURF: Swells generated by Arthur are affecting portions of the southeast U.S. coast and are expected to spread northward along the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast during the next day or so.
