DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Epsilon was
located near latitude 34.1 North, longitude 61.6 West. Epsilon is
moving toward the north near 10 mph (17 km/h). A general northward
motion with increasing forward speed is expected through early
Saturday, with a very fast forward motion toward the northeast 
early next week.  
 
Maximum sustained winds remain near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some fluctuations in strength could occur for the next day
or so before gradual weakening begins on Sunday.  Epsilon could 
lose tropical characteristics late Sunday.
 
Epsilon remains a large tropical cyclone.  Hurricane-force winds
extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and
tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 255 miles (405 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 968 mb (28.59 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
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.
