DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lorenzo was
located near latitude 40.2 North, longitude 31.3 West. Lorenzo is
moving toward the northeast near 40 mph (65 km/h). A continued fast
motion toward the northeast is expected through Thursday morning.
The cyclone is forecast to slow down and turn eastward by Thursday
night. On the forecast track, the center of Lorenzo will be moving
away from the Azores today, and move near Ireland Thursday evening.
Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts. Only slow weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours,
and Lorenzo is expected to be a strong extratropical cyclone when it
approaches Ireland Thursday afternoon and evening.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 390
miles (630 km). A sustained wind of 60 mph (95 km/h) with a gust to
85 mph (140 km/h) was recently reported at the Santa Cruz Airport at
Flores in the western Azores. A sustained wind of 50 mph (75 km/h)
with a gust to 70 mph (110 km/h) was reported at Horta in the
