A Tropical Storm Watch remains in effect as Larry approaches Bermuda from the southeast.
Forecasters at the Bermuda Weather Service (BWS) say: “Nearby showers continue to lift away this morning providing brief improvement today in advance of approaching Hurricane Larry.
“Expect deteriorating conditions tonight through Thursday with strengthening winds and the increasing likelihood of wet weather.
“Hazardous swells develop, especially along the South Shore, with dangerous surf and rip currents.”
Meanwhile, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) based in Miami, said: “The center of Larry is forecast to pass east of Bermuda on Thursday, but given Larry’s large size, tropical storm conditions are possible there Thursday, along with a risk of heavy rainfall and coastal flooding.
“A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Bermuda, and interests there should closely monitor the latest forecast updates.
“Large swells generated by Larry will continue to affect the Leeward Islands, portions of the Greater Antilles, and the Bahamas today.
“Significant swells will begin to reach the east coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada later today and continue affecting these shores through the end of the week.
“These swells will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions, and beachgoers and other interests along these coasts are urged to follow the guidance of lifeguards and local officials this week.
“Larry is forecast to move near or over portions of southeastern Newfoundland late Friday and Friday night as it transitions to a hurricane-force post-tropical cyclone.
“There is a risk of impacts from high winds, rainfall, and storm surge in portions of Newfoundland, and interests there should monitor the progress of Larry and updates to the forecast.”
