DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK

At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Joaquin was

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

SURF:  Swells generated by Joaquin will continue to affect Bermuda

mid-Atlantic and northeast coast of the United States and are
increasing along coastal areas of Atlantic Canada, and these swells
are expected to continue for the next day or two.  Life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions are likely in association with these
swells.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
