Slight fluctuations in intensity are possible on Saturday. Slow weakening is forecast to begin on Sunday. Epsilon is expected to become a large and powerful post-tropical cyclone early next week.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 972 mb (28.71 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.
