DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 800 AM CVT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gonzalo was
located near latitude 17.6 North, longitude 23.0 West. Gonzalo is
moving toward the north near 9 mph (15 km/h). A motion between 
north and north-northwest is expected to continue through the

expected early next week. On the forecast track, the center will 
continue to move away from northeastern portions of the Cabo
Verde Islands today.
 
Maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Weakening is anticipated, and Gonzalo could become a remnant 
low or dissipate within the next 24 hours.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Gonzalo are expected to affect portions
of the Cabo Verde Islands through today before diminishing Sunday.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.
