DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lorenzo was
located near latitude 20.8 North, longitude 44.1 West. Lorenzo is
moving toward the north-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h).  A turn
toward the north is expected by Saturday night, followed by a turn
toward the north-northeast on Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are now near 120 mph (195 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Lorenzo is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale.  Gradual weakening is expected during the
next few days.  However, Lorenzo is expected to remain a powerful
hurricane through the weekend.

Recent satellite wind data indicate that Lorenzo is still a very
large tropical cyclone.  Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to
35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds
extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 952 mb (28.12 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Lorenzo are affecting portions of the
northeastern coast of South America and the Lesser Antilles.  These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
