MIAMI (AP) - The Atlantic hurricane season officially ended Wednesday, but Tropical Storm Epsilon could still cause dangerous surf conditions in Bermuda as it nears hurricane strength, forecasters said.

The 26th named storm of the busiest hurricane season was not expected to hit Bermuda or any other land, according to forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

At 10 p.m. EST, Epsilon's top sustained winds were about 70 mph, up from 50 mph earlier in the day. It would become the 14th hurricane of the season if its winds reach 74 mph.

The storm was centered about 700 miles east-southeast of Bermuda. Forecasters said Epsilon was moving southeast at about 6 mph in a loop, but it was expected to eventually turn to the northeast.

The Atlantic hurricane season lasts six months.
