DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM GMT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Margot was located
near latitude 35.9 North, longitude 40.3 West. Margot is moving
toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h), and a slower 
forward motion is expected today. Margot is forecast to meander 
within weak steering currents on Friday and make a small clockwise 
loop over the weekend.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Continued weakening is forecast over the next few 
days, and Margot is likely to become a tropical storm later today.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles
(335 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 979 mb (28.91 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Margot will continue to affect the
Azores for the next several days. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
