At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Larry was located
near latitude 19.5 North, longitude 49.7 West. Larry is moving
toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h).  A northwestward motion
with a slight decrease in forward speed is expected during the next
few days.

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.  Little change in strength is forecast during
the next few days, although fluctuations in intensity will be
possible.  Larry is expected to remain a major hurricane through the
middle of this week.

Larry is a large hurricane.  Hurricane-force winds extend outward
up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force
winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 955 mb (28.20 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Larry are expected to reach the Lesser
Antilles today, and will spread westward to portions of the Greater
Antilles, the Bahamas, and Bermuda on Monday and Tuesday.
Significant swells will likely reach the east coast of the United
States and Atlantic Canada by midweek.  These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.
