Margot is moving toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h), and a slower forward motion is expected today.

Continued weakening is forecast over the next few days, and Margot is likely to become a tropical storm later today. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 979 mb (28.91 inches).

These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
