Joaquin becomes hurricane; could hit East Coast
Source: USA Today
Tropical Storm Joaquin, which had already been expected to add to a drenching of the East Coast through the weekend, strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane Wednesday morning as it neared the Bahamas.
As of 11 a.m. ET, the hurricane had winds of 80 mph.
Forecasters are divided as to whether its eye, around which the most violent part of the storm circulates, will hit the East Coast later this week.
"A wide range of outcomes is possible, from a direct impact of a major hurricane along the U.S. east coast to a track of Joaquin out to sea away from the coast," the National Hurricane Center said in an online forecast. "It is therefore way too soon to talk about specific wind, rain, or surge impacts from Joaquin in the U.S."
