At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located

west-northwest is expected later on Friday, followed by a turn 
toward the northwest on Sunday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 85 mph (140 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Additional strengthening is forecast during the 
next few days, and Larry could become a major hurricane by Friday 
night.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles
(240 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 985 mb (29.09 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
