Nate continues to track north

The latest forecast from the NHC continues to show a wide cone for Nate but the central forecast is that it will head towards the Florida panhandle or Mississippi.

"Reports from Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds are now near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Nate is expected to become a hurricane by the time it reaches the northern Gulf of Mexico."

It's not expected to grow into anything more than a Category 1 storm but you never know with this hurricane season.
