DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lorenzo was
located near latitude 25.9 North, longitude 44.4 West. Lorenzo is
moving toward the north-northeast near 10 mph (17 km/h) and this
motion is expected to continue through tonight. A turn to the
northeast along with an increase in forward speed should occur on
Monday and continue through Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 145 mph (230 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Lorenzo is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale.  Steady weakening is expected over the next
few days, but Lorenzo is still expected to be a potent hurricane in
a couple of days.

Lorenzo is a large hurricane, with hurricane-force winds extending
outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center and
tropical-storm-force winds extending outward up to 275 miles (445
km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 938 mb (27.70 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Lorenzo is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 3 to 6 inches over much of the western Azores and 1 to 2 inches
over the central Azores Tuesday and Wednesday.  This rainfall could
cause life-threatening flash flooding in the western Azores.

SURF:  Swells generated by Lorenzo are spreading across much of the
North Atlantic basin.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
