DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Florence was
located near latitude 25.1 North, longitude 50.7 West. Florence is
moving toward the west near 7 mph (11 km/h). This general motion
will likely continue for the next couple of days.  A turn toward
the west-northwest is expected by the end of the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (100 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Little change in intensity is expected today.
However, Florence is forecast to restrengthen and become a hurricane
again over the weekend.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Florence will begin to affect Bermuda
later today and will reach portions of the U.S. East Coast over the
weekend.  These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and
rip current conditions.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.
