At 500 PM AST the center of Hurricane Florence was located near
latitude 39.3 north - longitude 59.3 west or about 600 miles southwest
of Cape Race Newfoundland. Florence is moving toward the northeast near
20 mph and some increase in forward speed is expected during the next
24 hours. On this track, the system is expected to pass southeast of
Newfoundland during the next day or so. Maximum sustained winds are
near 75 mph with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast
during the next 24 hours as Florence becomes a powerful extratropical
cyclone. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 105 miles from the
center, and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 415 miles.
Estimated minimum central pressure is (980 mb) 28.94 inches. Large
ocean swells and dangerous surf conditions, including strong rip
currents, are affecting the Bahamas, and portions of the east coast of
the United States and the Canadian Maritimes. See statements from local
weather service offices for details on coastal conditions.
