DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM GMT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Isaac was located
near latitude 42.6 North, longitude 36.5 West. Isaac is moving
toward the northeast near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this general 
motion is expected to continue during the next couple of days, 
followed by a turn toward the north-northeast to north on Tuesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased near 80 mph (130 km/h) with 
higher gusts, and continued weakening is expected over the next
few days.  Isaac is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone by 
early Monday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles
(335 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 969 mb (28.62 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.
