Hurricane Igor is currently a category 4 hurricane, making it extremely powerful and dangerous. Igor has weakened somewhat over the last 18 hours or so, but remains a force to be reckoned with. Currently Igor is located at 19.8°N 55.0°W and is moving in a general WNW direction at 8 miles per hour. The minimal central pressure is up a tad to 942 millibars. The direction of the storm should slowly shift NW over the next day or so.

The National Hurricane Center has a projected path for Hurricane Igor which will take it very close, if not over, the island nation of Bermuda sometime late Sunday afternoon, or evening. Because any landfall is still a good four days off, this projected path could change significantly over the next couple days. Anyone living in, or traveling to Bermuda over this weekend should pay close attention to the forecast. Even though Igor will not be nearly as strong as it is currently, it should still be at least a category 2 storm by the time it gets close to Bermuda.

Elsewhere in the tropics there is Tropical Storm Karl, and Hurricane Julia.
