DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Joaquin was
located near latitude 37.5 North, longitude 61.0 West. Joaquin is
moving toward the northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h).  A turn toward
the east-northeast and an increase in forward speed are expected
today, with a rapid east-northeastward motion expected Tuesday
night and Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Slow weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and
Joaquin is expected to become an extratropical cyclone Wednesday or
Wednesday night.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 220 miles
(350 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.65 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Joaquin will continue to affect Bermuda
and portions of the Bahamas during the next day or so.  Swells are
affecting much of the east coast of the United States and the coast
of Atlantic Canada and should continue during the next day or two.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions.  Even though Joaquin is located well to the east
of the coast of the United States, a prolonged period of elevated
water levels and large waves will affect the mid-Atlantic region,
causing significant beach and dune erosion with moderate coastal
flooding likely.  Please consult products from your local weather
office.
