At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Epsilon was
located near latitude 32.6 North, longitude 61.6 West.  Epsilon is
moving toward the north-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h).  A generally
northward motion with increasing forward speed is expected through
early Saturday, with an even faster motion toward the northeast 
later that day.  The center of Epsilon will be moving away from 
Bermuda overnight.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some fluctuations in strength are expected for the next day
or two before gradual weakening begins by late Saturday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 240 miles
(390 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 968 mb (28.59 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Winds at Bermuda will subside overnight.
 
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.
