DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nicole was located
near latitude 36.5 North, longitude 55.7 West. Nicole is moving
toward the east-northeast near 20 mph (31 km/h), and this motion is
expected to continue for the next couple of days with a gradual
decrease in forward speed.

Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Slight strengthening is possible during the next 24 hours.
However, Nicole could become a post-tropical cyclone tonight or on
Saturday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 240
miles (390 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 971 mb (28.68 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells associated with Nicole will continue to affect Bermuda
and the United States east coast from the Carolinas northward for
the next couple of days.  Swells from Nicole will begin to affect
the coastline of Atlantic Canada tonight and continue into the
weekend.  These swells will create dangerous surf conditions and rip
currents.  Please refer to products being issued by your local
weather office for more information.
