DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Epsilon was
located near latitude 30.9 North, longitude 61.2 West. Epsilon is
moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). A turn toward the 
north-northwest is expected later today, followed by a northward 
motion tonight through Friday night, and an acceleration toward the 
northeast over the weekend.  On the forecast track, the center of 
Epsilon is forecast to make its closest approach to, but well to 
the east of, Bermuda later this evening.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 90 mph (150 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Some fluctuations in intensity are expected 
during the next couple of days, with weakening by early next week.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 310 miles
(500 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 965 mb (28.50 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected intermittently on
Bermuda through this evening.
 
SURF:  Large swells generated by Epsilon will affect Bermuda, the
Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, the Leeward Islands, the east coast
of the United States, and Atlantic Canada during the next few days.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather
office.
