DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Isaac was located 
near latitude 37.4 North, longitude 46.8 West. Isaac is moving 
toward the east-northeast near 18 mph (30 km/h).  A gradual turn to 
the east-northeast with a slight acceleration in forward speed is 
expected over the few days.

Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Additional strengthening is expected during the next day or
so followed by gradual weakening by the end of this weekend.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles
(110 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 981 mb (28.97 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Isaac and a large wind fetch from a 
deep-layer trough could spread into the Azores by this weekend.  
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip 
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather 
office.
