DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Oscar was located

toward the northeast near 22 mph (35 km/h).  A faster north-
northeast to northeast motion is expected during the next few days.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 80 mph (130 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Some slight weakening is forecast during the

by late Wednesday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles
(240 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 979 mb (28.91 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Large swells generated by Oscar will affect Bermuda through

as these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents.
