Hurricane Florence Still Churning...

Tropical Storm Florence got her act together early this morning and became a hurricane with maximum sustained winds now around 90mph. The storm is steadily approaching Bermuda, now located about 185 south-southeast of the island.

Florence is expected to strengthen over the next 24 hours and is likely to become a Category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. However, once the storm moves past Bermuda, it is expected to encounter some pretty significant wind shear which will quickly cause weakening.

High pressure sitting in the New England area should help to steer Florence off to the northeast. Although this hurricane will not directly affect the U.S., waters are going to get pretty choppy along the east coast.
