At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located
near latitude 16.8 North, longitude 45.8 West. Larry is moving
toward the west-northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h). A gradually slower
west-northwest to northwest motion is expected during the next few
days.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 125 mph (205 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Larry is a category 3 hurricane on the 
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale and additional strengthening is 
forecast over the next day or two. Larry is expected to remain at 
major hurricane strength through the early part of next week.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles
(260 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 958 mb (28.29 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Larry are expected to reach the Lesser
Antilles on Sunday, and will continue to spread westward to
portions of the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, and Bermuda Monday
and Tuesday.  Significant swells will likely reach the eastern
United States coastline after Labor Day.  These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
