DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
t 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Epsilon was
located near latitude 33.1 North, longitude 61.6 West. Epsilon is
moving toward the north near 8 mph (13 km/h). A generally northward
motion with increasing forward speed is expected through early
Saturday, with an even faster motion toward the northeast later that
day. The center of Epsilon will continue to move away from Bermuda.

Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some fluctuations in strength could occur for the next day
or so before gradual weakening begins on Saturday.

Epsilon remains a large storm system. Hurricane-force winds
extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and
tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 255 miles (405 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 968 mb (28.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Large swells generated by Epsilon will affect Bermuda, the
Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, the Leeward Islands, the east coast
of the United States, and Atlantic Canada during the next few days.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.
