As I tweeted yesterday, I’ve barely been paying any attention to Hurricane Igor, but he’s a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds, and could potentially become the season’s first Category 5 before weakening begins due to increased shear. He could threaten Bermuda in 5-7 days, but does not appear likely to affect the U.S. beyond high surf.
Igor is trailed by Tropical Storm Julia, which is expected to become a hurricane in the next couple of days, but appears to pose no threat to any land.
