HOWEVER...IN THE PAST HOUR OR TWO THE EYE APPEARS TO HAVE
BECOME BETTER DEFINED. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER
AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM AROUND 1800 UTC
TODAY AND SHOULD PROVIDE A BETTER ASSESSMENT OF THE INTENSITY.
CIRRUS OUTFLOW IS WELL DEFINED EXCEPT TO THE EAST...AND FLORENCE
WILL BE TRAVERSING SSTS 28 DEGREES CELSIUS OR HIGHER FOR THE NEXT
24 HOURS. STRENGTHENING IS THEREFORE FORECAST AND FLORENCE COULD
BE A STRONG CATEGORY 2 HURRICANE WHEN IT IS NEAR BERMUDA.
AFTERWARDS...INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR AND COOLER SSTS SHOULD
IMPART A GRADUAL WEAKENING. HOWEVER... FLORENCE IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN A VERY LARGE AND POWERFUL CYCLONE ONCE IT UNDERGOES
EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION IN ABOUT 72 HOURS.

I thought that when I saw it's projected track offshore and up towards
Newfoundland. I don't blame the forecaster trying to hide it, can you
imagine the media hype if the news of an approaching hurricane(*) got
out?

(*) Even though it'll be no more than a rather warm and wet atlantic
depression by the time it gets here...

we were in Bermuda in 1975 when a hurricane nearly hit

Everyone battened down , water got in etc etc . Very windy as you would
expect . Would you believe the local tv station forgot to tell islanders
when the hurricane actually missed the island
