Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Erin is near 24.4N 71.7W at 11 PM EDT, and
is moving northwest at 7 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 110 kt
with gusts to 135 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 949 mb.
Erin will move to 25.4N 72.3W Tue morning, 27.1N 73.2W Tue
evening, 29.2N 73.7W Wed morning, 31.4N 73.5W Wed evening, 33.5N
72.5W Thu morning, and 35.4N 70.0W Thu evening. Erin will change
little in intensity as it moves near 38.5N 62.9W late Fri. 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 is producing some
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 as the
system approaches the offshore waters of Puerto Rico.
