---------------------------------------------------------------------

==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.
