DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lorenzo was
located near latitude 29.4 North, longitude 42.9 West.  Lorenzo is
moving toward the north-northeast near 14 mph (20 km/h).  A turn to
the northeast is expected later today with a gradual increase in
forward speed through Wednesday.  On the forecast track, the center
of Lorenzo is expected to pass near the western Azores early on
Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, but
Lorenzo is forecast to remain a large and powerful hurricane while
it passes near the Azores.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 255
miles (405 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 957 mb (28.26 inches).

and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT3.shtml

WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch
area by early Wednesday, with tropical storm conditions possible by
late Tuesday.  Tropical storm conditions are possible in the
tropical storm watch area by early Wednesday.

RAINFALL:  Lorenzo is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches over much of the western Azores and around 1 inch
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.
