UPDATE: Category 3 Hurricane Frances Still Heading towards U.S.
August 31, 2004
The National Hurricane Center's latest bulletin on Hurricane Frances, issued this morning, confirmed that the storm is a category 3 hurricane, packing winds near 125 mph (205 km/hr.) with higher gusts.
The NHC said "some strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours." Frances is a big and potentially very destructive storm. The NHC reported that "hurricane force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km.) from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 kms)." If it follows the NHC's projected storm track, Frances would strike Florida's Eastern Coast between West Palm Beach and Daytona Beach late Saturday afternoon.
