==DISCUSSION==



FOR HURRICANE ERIN 



THE NEXT INFORMATION STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED BY 3:00 P.M. ADT 

WEDNESDAY. 



HURRICANE ERIN IS TRACKING NORTHWESTWARD AWAY FROM THE BAHAMAS WITH 

RECENTLY DECREASING CORE WINDS BUT AN EXPANDING AREA OF 

HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS. THE CENTRE WILL TRACK WELL EAST OF NORTH 

CAROLINA BUT THAT AREA IS STILL EXPECTING TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS 

AND DANGEROUS WAVES. 



GIVEN THE LARGE SIZE OF ERIN, IT IS LIKELY TO BRING HEAVY WAVE 

ACTIVITY TO EASTERN CANADIAN WATERS AND ALSO TO THE SOUTH-FACING 

ATLANTIC COASTLINES OF NOVA SCOTIA AND NEWFOUNDLAND FRIDAY/SATURDAY. 

AT THIS STAGE WE DON'T EXPECT THE STORM TO IMPACT LAND OTHER THAN 

THE OCEAN SWELL, WHICH WILL LIKELY CREATE HAZARDOUS SURF CONDITIONS 

INCLUDING RIP CURRENTS - OF PARTICULAR RISK ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST 

OF NOVA SCOTIA FRIDAY. 



OFFSHORE DISTRICTS THAT SHOULD PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION: GEORGE'S 

BANK, THE SCOTIAN SLOPE, LAURENTIAN FAN AND THE SOUTHERN GRAND 

BANKS. STORM-FORCE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF 

THESE FORECAST ZONES. 



FORECASTER: FOGARTY



PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS ISSUED BY THE CANADIAN HURRICANE 

CENTRE AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA.
