At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nicole was located
near latitude 35.4 North, longitude 59.2 West. Nicole is moving
toward the east-northeast near 21 mph (33 km/h). This general motion
is expected to continue today with a decrease in forward speed
expected on Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Weakening is forecast during the next 12 to 24 hours, but
Nicole is expected to remain a powerful cyclone even when it could
become a post-tropical cyclone on Saturday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205
miles (335 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 965 mb (28.50 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells associated with Nicole will continue to affect Bermuda
and the United States east coast from the Carolinas northward for
the next couple of days.  Swells from Nicole will begin to affect
the coastline of Atlantic Canada on Friday and continue into the
weekend.  These swells will create dangerous surf conditions and rip
currents.  Please refer to products being issued by your local
weather office for more information.
