At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nicole was located

Nicole is expected to maintain hurricane strength through Monday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 485

The estimated minimum central pressure is 958 mb (28.29 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells associated with Nicole will affect Bermuda, the United
States east coast from the Carolinas northward, and the coastline of
Atlantic Canada for the next couple of days.  Swells from Nicole
should begin to affect the United States east coast south of the
Carolinas, the Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, and the Leeward
Islands during the early part of next week.  These swells will
create dangerous surf conditions and rip currents.  Please refer to
products being issued by your local weather office for more
