At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nicole was

Maximum sustained winds remain near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, but
Nicole is expected to maintain hurricane strength through Monday.

Nicole is a large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up
to 90 miles (150 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds
extend outward up to 415 miles (665 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 958 mb (28.29 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells associated with Nicole will continue to affect
Bermuda, the United States east coast from the Carolinas northward,
and the coastline of Atlantic Canada over the next couple of days.
Swells from Nicole should begin to affect the United States east
coast south of the Carolinas, the Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, and
the Leeward Islands in a day or two.  These swells will create
dangerous surf conditions and rip currents.  Please refer to
products being issued by your local weather office for more
information.
