At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Larry was located near latitude 50.7 North, longitude 51.7 West. Larry is moving toward the north northeast near 48 mph (78 km/h), and this motion is forecast to continue today. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Larry is forecast to transition into a post tropical cyclone later today, and merge with a larger non tropical low by tonight. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km) from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 966 mb (28.53 inches).

Larry made landfall near South East Bight, Newfoundland, around 0345 UTC. Since then, the hurricane has moved quickly north- northeastward at 42 kt and is now well northeast of Newfoundland. Although the hurricane still has some central convection, the low- and mid-level centers are separating, and the remaining convection is decreasing. The initial winds are lowered to 65 kt, consistent with the degraded structure. Larry should quickly transition into a strong post-tropical cyclone later today while it continues its speedy north-northeastward course, then dissipate as it merges with a developing mid-latitude low over the Labrador Sea. No significant changes were made to the track or intensity forecasts.
