Margot is moving toward the north-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h) and this motion with a gradual decrease in forward speed is expected through early Thursday.

Some weakening is forecast during the next 72 hours. Satellite data indicated that Margot's hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.65 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Margot will begin to affect the Azores later today. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
