Don is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone on Sunday night, NHC said
(Reuters) - Tropical storm Don became a hurricane on Saturday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in its latest advisory.
Hurricane Don, which is moving in a northwest direction over the central Atlantic, is located about 775 kilometers (481.56 miles) south-southeast of Cape Race Newfoundland and packing maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour, the Miami-based forecaster said.
Don is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone on Sunday night, NHC said, adding that steady weakening should begin Saturday night or early Sunday.
The hurricane is expected to turn northeastward later tonight or early Sunday, and a northeastward to east-northeastward motion should continue until the system dissipates Monday night or early Tuesday, the forecaster said.
The Miami-based forecaster did not provide any warnings or coastal watches for the hurricane.
