DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Leslie was
located near latitude 33.3 North, longitude 57.5 West.  Leslie is
moving toward the north near 12 mph (19 km/h), and this motion is
expected to continue through tonight.  A reduction in forward speed
is forecast on Friday and Friday night, with Leslie turning toward
the east or east-southeast over the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 70 mph (110 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Continued gradual weakening is expected during
the next several days.

Satellite wind data indicate that Leslie is larger than previously
reported, and that tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to
290 miles (465 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 982 mb (29.00 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect
portions of the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda,
and the Bahamas during the next few days.  Swells are expected to
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.
