Frances has been slowly speeding up within the last few hours. It seems that it won't have enough time to turn very far northward before it makes landfall. The weather channel's hurricane expert Dr. Steve Lyons said he felt the time of landfall would now be more around Friday night. How will passing over the Bahamas affect its strength before it hits the US? Anyone think we may be dealing with a possible Category 5 here?




Andrew did weaken somewhat over the Bahamas, didn't he? Of course, the warm, deep waters of the FL Straits allow for a bumping back up in strength.
