Although gradual weakening is predicted over the next several days, the Bermuda Weather Service issued a tropical storm watch for the island with conditions beginning late Wednesday or early Thursday.

Swells generated by Larry will affect the Lesser Antilles, portions of the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas through midweek.
The National Hurricane Center said that significant swells should reach the East Coast and Atlantic Canada by midweek and continue affecting these shores through the end of the week.
These swells are expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions and beachgoers and other interests were urged to follow the guidance of lifeguards and local officials.
Hurricane Larry comes shortly after Hurricane Ida tore through the Gulf Coast and Northeast, killing more than 60 people across both regions.
On Tuesday, President Biden traveled to New Jersey and New York to survey the damage.
The president approved a disaster declaration for New York and a similar declaration for six counties in New Jersey.
