Jeanne is now moving toward the west near 14 mph...23 km/hr...and this general motion is expected to continue during the next 12 to 24 hours. On this track...the core of Jeanne will be moving across the northwestern Bahamas later today.
Reports from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft indicate maximum sustained winds are now near 105 mph...170 km/hr...with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours...and Jeanne could become a major hurricane later today.
