DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM GMT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Isaac was located
near latitude 39.3 North, longitude 41.3 West. Isaac is moving
toward the northeast near 20 mph (31 km/h), and this general motion
should continue through Monday followed by a turn toward the
north-northeast on Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 105 mph (165 km/h)
with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected through
mid-day, followed by gradual weakening through the remainder of
the forecast period. Isaac is expected to be a post-tropical
cyclone on Monday.
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 968 mb (28.59 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Isaac and a large wind fetch from a
deep-layer trough could spread into the Azores through the weekend.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.
