    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 900 PM GMT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gaston was
    located near latitude 39.1 North, longitude 37.5 West. Gaston is
    moving toward the west near 10 mph (17 km/h) and a general west to west-southwestward motion is expected until dissipation.

    Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) with
    higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast over the next few days,
    and Gaston is forecast to become a post-tropical tonight and
    dissipate entirely later this week.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
    from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    SURF: Swells generated by Gaston are expected to affect portions of
    the Azores though tonight. These swells are likely to cause
    life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
