At 200 PM AST (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located
near latitude 28.3 North, longitude 58.9 West. Larry is moving
toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this general motion
is expected to continue through today.  A turn toward the
north-northwest and north with an increase in forward speed is
forecast on Thursday, with a faster northeastward motion expected by
Friday.  On the forecast track, the center of Larry should pass east
of Bermuda on Thursday, and move near or over southeastern
Newfoundland late Friday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Gradual weakening is forecast during the next few days, but
Larry is expected to remain a hurricane during that time.

Larry is a large hurricane.  Hurricane-force winds extend outward
up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force
winds extend outward up to 240 miles (390 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 966 mb (28.53 inches).

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda beginning
tonight or early Thursday.

SURF:  Swells generated by Larry will continue to affect the Leeward 
Islands, portions of the Greater Antilles, and the Bahamas through 
midweek, and impact Bermuda through the end of the week. Significant 
swells from Larry will begin reaching the east coast of the United 
States and Atlantic Canada today and continue affecting these shores 
through the end of the week.  These swells are likely to cause 
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult 
products from your local weather office.

RAINFALL:  Outer rain bands from Hurricane Larry may periodically 
impact Bermuda tonight into Thursday.  Significant rainfall totals 
are currently not expected, however briefly heavy rain rates within 
these bands may result in an inch or two of rain through Thursday.
