Hurricane Florence is rapidly strengthening and is expected to hit the U.S. east coast later this week as a major hurricane, according to the latest forecasted track.
The storm’s center will move northwest between Bermuda and the Bahamas on Tuesday and Wednesday. It’s expected to become at least a Category 3 hurricane before it hits the mainland U.S. around South Carolina and North Carolina, likely on Friday morning, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Monday.
As of 5 a.m. ET Monday, Hurricane Florence’s center was about 625 miles southeast of Bermuda and was moving west-northwest at a speed of 9 mph. Florence has maximum sustained winds of 105 mph, though that number is likely to increase as the storm strengthens.
