Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Erin is near 26.6N 72.7W at 5 PM EDT, and
is moving north-northwest at 9 kt. Maximum sustained winds are
90 kt with gusts to 110 kt, and the minimum central pressure is
958 mb. Erin will move to 28.1N 73.4W Wed morning, 30.3N 73.8W
Wed afternoon, 32.6N 73.1W Thu morning, 34.9N 71.3W Thu afternoon,
36.8N 68.3W Fri morning, and 38.4N 64.7W Fri afternoon. Erin will
change little in intensity as it moves to near 41.0N 56.0W Sat
afternoon. 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.
Otherwise, a tropical wave located over the central tropical
Atlantic continues to produce a broad area of disorganized showers
and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for
gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression
could form toward the end of the week or this weekend. This system
should move westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 kt and
approach the vicinity of the northern Leeward Islands on Friday.
