“Maximum sustained winds remain near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast over the next several days, and Cindy could become a remnant low or degenerate into a trough by the middle portion of next week. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center.”
