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

this motion with an increase in forward speed should continue
through Friday night.  A turn to the east is expected this weekend.

Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

SURF:  Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect
portions of the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda,

increase near the coasts of New England and Atlantic Canada by the
end of the week.  Please consult products from your local weather
office as these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents.
