DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Joaquin was
located near latitude 36.8 North, longitude 62.7 West.  Joaquin is
moving toward the northeast near 14 mph (22 km/h).  The hurricane
should accelerate while turning toward the east-northeast during
the next two days.

Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some slow weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours.
Joaquin is anticipated to become an extratropical cyclone on
Wednesday.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 205 miles
(335 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.65 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Joaquin will continue to affect Bermuda
and portions of the Bahamas during the next day or so.  Swells are
affecting much of the east coast of the United States and the
coast of Atlantic Canada and should continue during the next
day or two.  These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf
and rip current conditions.  Even though Joaquin is located well to
the east of the coast of the United States, a prolonged period of
elevated water levels and large waves will affect the mid-Atlantic
region, causing significant beach and dune erosion with moderate
coastal flooding likely.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.
