At 800 PM AST (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Leslie was located
near latitude 30.3 North, longitude 35.3 West. Leslie is moving
toward the east-northeast near 22 mph (35 km/h). A continued

will pass near Madeira Island by late Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some fluctuations in intensity are possible tonight and
early Friday, but steady weakening is forecast to begin by Friday
night.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 240
miles (390 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 976 mb (28.82 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible on Madeira Island
beginning Saturday.

SURF:  Swells generated by Leslie will likely affect portions of
the Azores, Madeira Island and the Canary Islands through Saturday
and could reach the Atlantic coasts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco
over the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult products from your
local weather office.
