DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 300 PM GMT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Martin was located near latitude 45.6 North, longitude 37.9 West. Martin is moving toward the northeast near 48 mph (78 km/h). A turn toward the north at a slightly slower forward speed is expected this evening. Martin's forward motion is forecast to slow down substantially on Friday. A general east to east-southeastward motion is then forecast by Friday night, which will likely continue through the weekend. Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Martin is forecast to become a very powerful post-tropical cyclone within the next few hours. Martin's peak sustained winds will likely begin to decrease on Friday, but it will continue to produce strong winds over a very large area well into the weekend. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 520 miles (835 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 960 mb (28.35 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Martin when it become a post-tropical cyclone will likely spread across a large portion of the high-latitude North Atlantic basin, affecting portions of Atlantic Canada, the Azores, and the Atlantic coast of Europe by the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products form your local weather office.
