DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 PM GMT (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Margot was located
near latitude 34.7 North, longitude 40.6 West. Margot is moving
toward the north near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this motion is expected
to continue with a gradual decrease in forward speed through
Thursday. Margot is then likely to meander within weak steering
currents through this weekend.

Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some weakening is forecast during the next 72 hours.

Satellite data indicates that Margot's hurricane-force winds extend
outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and
tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 971 mb (28.68 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Margot will continue to affect the
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.


NEXT ADVISORY
-------------
Next complete advisory at 300 AM GMT.
