Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Slow weakening is expected during the next several days.
Isaac is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone later today.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

will affect the Azores over the next few days. These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
