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.

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.
