Hurricane Florence could hit the East Coast in the coming days, according to forecasters

Although Hurricane Florence seems to be heading to Bermuda early next week, forecasters say it could impact East Coast residents over the next few days.

But, they offer with generous help for caution, it's too early to say.

"Given the great uncertainty of these deadlines, it is far too early to speculate on the potential impacts of Florence on the US East Coast," said Fox meteorologist Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center. by email Thursday afternoon. "Florence is a great reminder that we are at the peak of the hurricane season, and those living along the coast should make sure they have a hurricane plan in place."

Feltgen said that the hurricane was considered Category 1 at 17 hours. Thursday; There were maximum sustained winds near 80 mph with higher gusts.

Florence is the first major hurricane of the season and has weakened due to wind shear, but will likely be re-intensified next week, as reported by The Weather Channel.

Feltgen said Florence would begin to firm up Friday night and this weekend.

"An area of ​​strong pressure on the central Atlantic will bring us closer to the west and join a strong existing pressure near the East Coast of the United States over the next few days," said Dan Kottlowski, specialist Hurricane AccuWeather. "This configuration will guide Florence on a west-northwest course until next week."

There are no watches or warnings currently in force in the United States, as Fox News has already pointed out.

The Weather Channel said the swell would likely start affecting the east coast this weekend.

Since 1851, as reported by the Washington Post, 67 named storms have passed less than 200 nautical miles from Florence's current position, without ever reaching the United States. If Florence arrives in America, it will be an aberration.
