DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located
near latitude 17.4 North, longitude 47.1 West. Larry is moving
toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h). A somewhat slower
west-northwest to northwest motion is expected during the next few
days.

Maximum sustained winds are near 125 mph (205 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Larry is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale.  Some additional strengthening is forecast
over the next day or so, followed by some intensity fluctuations.
However, Larry is expected to remain at major hurricane strength
through the early part of next week.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles
(260 km).

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


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Larry are expected to reach the Lesser
Antilles on Sunday, and will continue to spread westward to
portions of the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, and Bermuda Monday
and Tuesday.  Significant swells will likely reach 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.
