Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Erin is centered near 28.9N 73.3W, or about
480 nm west-southwest of Bermuda at 5 AM EDT, and is moving
north-northwest at 11 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 85 kt with
gusts to 105 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 954 mb. Erin
will strengthen slightly as it moves to near 30.6N 73.5W this
afternoon, to north of the area near 33.0N 72.8W late tonight and
well north-northeast of the region through as it begins to slowly
weaken and eventually becoming post-tropical. Swells generated by
Erin will affect the Bahamas, Bermuda and the east coast of the
United States during the next several days. 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 late this
week or over the weekend while it moves near or to the north of
the northern Leeward Islands.
