While tropical storm Florence has had difficulty intensifying the last several days, it appears that it will likely become a hurricane in the next day or so, and will begin a recurve and acceleration directly towards Bermuda by Monday morning. Florence has looked extremely ragged over the last several days, without a well-defined circulation center. The cyclone remains a very large tropical storm as of Friday morning, with sustained winds near 45 knots, and has recently shown signs of intensification. The NHC forecast has Florence with sustained winds of 85 knots at landfall near Bermuda. If we hadn't just chased a hurricane in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and if this storm were slightly stronger, we would likely be enroute to Bermuda by this time. However, I am not counting this out!
