MIAMI – Irma moving westward across the Atlantic as a small hurricane

From Caribbean News Service

The National Hurricane Centre says interests in the northern Leeward Islands should continue to monitor the progress of Hurricane Irma.

At 11 a.m [Sep 2]., the eye of Hurricane Irma was located near latitude 18.8 North, longitude 43.3 West. Irma is moving toward the west near 15 mph (24 km/h) and a turn toward the west-southwest at a slightly slower rate of speed during the next two days.

Maximum sustained winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours.

Irma is a small hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 973 mb (28.74 inches).
