DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h), and a slower
forward motion is expected today. Margot is forecast to meander
within weak steering currents on Friday and make a small clockwise
loop over the weekend.

Satellite-wind data indicate that the maximum sustained winds are
near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher gusts.  Gradual weakening is
forecast over the next few days.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from

The estimated minimum central pressure is 978 mb (28.88 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Azores for the next several days. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
