DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Epsilon was
located near latitude 29.6 North, longitude 60.6 West.  Epsilon is
moving toward the west-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h), and a 
northwestward motion is expected later tonight and Thursday.  The 
hurricane is forecast to turn toward the north-northwest by late 
Thursday, and toward the north on Friday.  On the forecast track, 
the center of Epsilon is forecast to make its closest approach to 
Bermuda Thursday evening.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Epsilon is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale.  Small fluctuations in intensity are possible 
overnight, but a weakening trend is expected to begin later on 
Thursday and continue into the weekend.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 345 miles
(555 km) mainly to the north of the center.
 
The latest minimum central pressure estimated from Air Force 
Hurricane Hunter aircraft observations is 953 mb (28.15 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda tonight and
continuing intermittently through late Thursday.
 
SURF:  Large swells generated by Epsilon are affecting Bermuda, the
Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, and the Leeward Islands, and are
expected to reach portions of the east coast of the United States
and Atlantic Canada during the next couple of days.  These swells
are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
