DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK<br>
——————————<br>
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Alex was located<br>
near latitude 33.6 North, longitude 27.8 West. Alex is moving toward<br>
the north-northeast near 22 mph (35 km/h), and a turn toward the north<br>
with an increase in forward speed is expected by Friday<br>
followed by a turn toward the north-northwest on Saturday. On the<br>
forecast track, the center of Alex will move near or over portions of<br>
the Azores Friday morning.<br>
<br>
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts.<br>
Little change in strength is expected over the next day or so, and<br>
Alex is likely to lose its tropical characteristics on Friday.<br>
<br>
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the<br>
center, and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 175 miles<br>
(280 km).<br>
<br>
The estimated minimum central pressure is 981 mb (28.97 inches).<br>
<br>
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND<br>
———————-<br>
WIND: Tropical-storm-force winds are expected to begin over portions<br>
of the Azores tonight. Hurricane conditions are expected to spread<br>
over the central Azores by early Friday.<br>
<br>
Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains are<br>
often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated<br>
in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even<br>
greater.<br>
<br>
RAINFALL: Alex is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to<br>
5 inches over the Azores through Friday, with possible isolated<br>
maximum amounts of 7 inches. These rains could produce<br>
life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.<br>
<br>
STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce<br>
significant coastal flooding near and to the east of the center of<br>
Alex. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and<br>
destructive waves.<br>
