DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located
near latitude 20.5 North, longitude 50.6 West. Larry is moving
toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h). A northwestward motion
with a slight decrease in forward speed is expected during the next
few days.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 125 mph (205 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.  However, Larry is expected to remain a major hurricane 
through the middle of this week.
 
Larry is a large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up 
to 45 miles (75 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds 
extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 955 mb (28.20 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Larry are reaching the Lesser Antilles 
and are expected to spread westward to portions of the Greater 
Antilles, the Bahamas, and Bermuda on Monday and Tuesday. 
Significant swells should 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.
