At 800 AM PDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Fabio was located

motion is expected to continue through Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 100 mph (155 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast, and Fabio is
expected to become a tropical storm on Thursday.  Fabio is then
likely to degenerate into a remnant low on Saturday.
