...and intensifying off the coast of Bermuda:
Nate, the 14th named storm of the season, was centered about 275 miles south-southwest of Bermuda with top sustained winds near 60 mph. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said it could reach hurricane strength, with winds of at least 74 mph, by Wednesday.
It wasn't moving, though it was expected to eventually make a turn to the northeast, forecasters said.
"Perhaps by the end of the work week it could be posing a threat to Bermuda, but not the U.S.," hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart said.
More worrisome to the U.S. is Hamlet's mad girlfriend Ophelia, who is right now just in a state of depression (sorry about these, but I simply can't resist). The Storm That Would Be Ophelia
...has formed about 115 miles ENE of Miami, Fla. With the system expected to strengthen and creep toward the Florida Peninsula, tropical storm warnings have been hoisted along the soustheast coast of Florida between Titusville and Jupiter. Tropical storm warnings have also been posted for Grand Bahama, Bimini and the Abacos. Squally weather with heavy surf and rip currents will continue along the east coast of Florida for the next couple of days.
This one is worth keeping an eye on, folks, because if it doesn't break up over land, and ends up in the Gulf, who the heck knows what might happen.
Oy vey. Still think climate change is not happening?
