DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located
near latitude 22.5 North, longitude 53.9 West. Larry is moving
toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this general motion
is expected to continue through Wednesday, followed by a turn
toward the north-northwest and north on Thursday.
 
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.  Some fluctuations in intensity are possible
during the next couple of days.  Thereafter, some gradual weakening
is forecast.
 
Larry remains a large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend 
outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and 
tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 956 mb (28.23 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Larry will continue to affect the Lesser
Antilles, portions of the Greater Antilles, and the Bahamas through
Tuesday, and Bermuda through late this week. Significant swells
should reach the east coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada
by midweek and continue affecting these shores through the end of
the week.  These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf
and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.
