(260 km).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

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

SURF:  Swells generated by Jose are affecting portions of the

Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and the northern coast of

Puerto Rico, and will begin to affect Hispaniola, portions of the

Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands over the next couple of

days. These swells are likely to produce life-threatening surf and

rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
