DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Erin was located near latitude 37.9 North, longitude 66.6 West. Erin is moving toward the northeast near 22 mph (35 km/h). A faster northeastward to east-northeastward motion is expected during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Erin will move over the western Atlantic between New England and Bermuda through this morning, and then pass south of Atlantic Canada today and Saturday. Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next couple of days, but Erin is still expected to be producing hurricane-force winds when it becomes post-tropical on Saturday. Erin remains a very large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 370 miles (595 km). A wind gust to 51 mph (82 km/h) was recently reported at the L. F. Wade International Airport on Bermuda, and a gust to 47 mph (76 km/h) was measured at the airport on Nantucket, Massachusetts. The estimated minimum central pressure is 954 mb (28.17 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Erin can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected on Bermuda for a few more hours. Wind gusts to tropical storm force are likely through this morning along the southern New England coast. Gusts to gale force are possible along portions of the coast of Nova Scotia today and the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland on Saturday. SURF: Swells generated by Erin will affect the Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada during the next several days. These rough ocean conditions are expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. Please consult products from your local weather forecast office for more information.
