DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Epsilon was
located near latitude 39.4 North, longitude 58.2 West. Epsilon is

continued fast northeastward to east-northeastward motion is

Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher
gusts. Only slow weakening is expected over the weekend. Epsilon
is forecast to become a large and powerful post-tropical cyclone

miles (685 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 958 mb (28.29 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 couple of
days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.
