Florence, Currently a Tropical Storm, Poses an Increasing Hurricane Danger to East Coast Next Week

Florence is now a tropical storm, but will become a hurricane again this weekend, and then once thereafter it will become a strong hurricane again. By the time it passes just south of Bermuda, Florence will likely be a category 3 hurricane with winds of up to 120 MPH. Once this storm passes south of Bermuda, the chance of it posing a threat to the East Coast next week is increasing. The strength of the upper ridge in the jet stream is key in the track and landfall potential of this storm. Please stay posted here for all the latest with regards to Florence.
