    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 800 AM CVT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gonzalo was
    located near latitude 17.6 North, longitude 23.0 West. Gonzalo is
    moving toward the north near 9 mph (15 km/h). A motion between
    north and north-northwest is expected to continue through the
    weekend, with a deceleration and a turn to the west-northwest
    expected early next week. On the forecast track, the center will
    continue to move away from northeastern portions of the Cabo
    Verde Islands today.

    Maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
    gusts. Weakening is anticipated, and Gonzalo could become a remnant
    low or dissipate within the next 24 hours.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km)
    from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    SURF: Swells generated by Gonzalo are expected to affect portions
    of the Cabo Verde Islands through today before diminishing Sunday.
    These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
    current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
    office.
