DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located
near latitude 15.0 North, longitude 42.0 West. Larry is moving
toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h) and this motion is
expected to continue over the weekend. A turn to the
northwest is forecast by early next week.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 100 mph (155 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Additional strengthening is forecast during the
next few days, and Larry is forecast to become a major hurricane
this weekend.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles
(240 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 978 mb (28.88 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Larry are expected to reach the Lesser
Antilles on Sunday. Significant swells will likely reach Bermuda
and the eastern United States coastline after Labor Day.  These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
