At 900 AM GMT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Margot was
located near latitude 35.0 North, longitude 38.3 West. Margot is

continue making a slow clockwise loop during the next day or two. A
faster northeastward to eastward motion is forecast by early next
week.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast during the next
day or so, though Margot may re-intensify some by early next week.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 300 miles (480 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
