DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 300 PM GMT (1500 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Isaac was located
near latitude 40.2 North, longitude 39.7 West. Isaac is moving
toward the east-northeast near 20 mph (31 km/h) and a decrease in 
forward speed and a turn to the northeast is expected during the 
next couple of days.

Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Gradual weakening is expected, and Isaac is expected to be 
a post-tropical cyclone on Monday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles
(315 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 will affect the Azores over the next few days.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.


NEXT ADVISORY

Next complete advisory at 900 PM GMT.
