DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Leslie was located
near latitude 31.4 North, longitude 57.1 West.  Leslie is moving
toward the north near 8 mph (13 km/h), and this motion with an
increase in forward speed is expected through tonight.  A reduction
in speed is forecast on Friday and Friday night, with Leslie
accelerating toward the east or east-southeast over the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Gradual weakening is forecast during the next several days.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the

miles (315 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 976 mb (28.82 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect
portions of the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda,
and the Bahamas during the next few days.  Swells are expected to
increase near the coasts of New England and Atlantic Canada by the
end of the week.  Please consult products from your local weather
office as these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents.
