DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 800 PM AST (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Epsilon was
located near latitude 32.2 North, longitude 61.5 West.  Epsilon is
moving toward the north-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h).  A general
northward motion is expected through early Saturday with a faster
motion toward the northeast later that day.  The center of Epsilon
will continue to pass well east of Bermuda tonight.
 
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).  An observation site near Heritage Wharf, Bermuda, 
reported a sustained wind of 31 mph (50 km/h) and a gust to 52 mph 
(83 km/h). 
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 968 mb (28.59 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

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.
