Erica is strengthening and will likely become a hurricane by the time it gets to The Bahamas this weekend. This is a large storm. Most models, as you will see below...take Erika toward Florida posing a serious threat by Monday. There is still time to this to change, nevertheless...residents of Florida and SE Coast should begin preparing. Below..hurricane center's track followed by the tracks of many computer models.
Ignacio ...in the Pacific will also become a hurricane and he could threaten Hawaii by late weekend or early next week.
