Additional weakening is expected within the next 24 to 48 hours as it moves over a pool of cooler water & land interaction.

Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 260 kilometers (140 nautical miles). NALGAE is a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 720 kilometers (390 nautical miles).
