DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK

At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Joaquin was

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

SURF:  Swells generated by Joaquin will continue to affect Bermuda

increasing along coastal areas of Atlantic Canada, and these swells
are expected to continue for the next day or two.  Life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions are likely in association with these
swells.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
