----------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located
near latitude 18.8 North, longitude 49.0 West. Larry is moving
toward the northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h).  A northwestward motion 
with a slight decrease in forward speed is expected during the next 
few days.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph (195 km/h) with higher 
gusts.  Larry is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson 
Hurricane Wind Scale.  Little change in strength is forecast during 
the next few days, although fluctuations in intensity will be 
possible.  Larry is expected to remain a major hurricane through the 
middle of this 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).  A 
drifting buoy near the center of Larry recently measured a pressure 
of 962.9 mb (28.43 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Larry are expected to reach the Lesser 
Antilles today, and will spread westward to portions of the Greater 
Antilles, the Bahamas, and Bermuda on Monday and Tuesday. 
Significant swells will likely reach the east coast of the United 
States and Atlantic Canada by midweek.  These swells are likely to 
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please 
consult products from your local weather office.
