04 Oct 2016 / Haiti, Bahamas & Florida USA
Hurricane Matthew is located in the Caribbean sea and is moving northward. Matthew is a dangerous category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale with initial intensity of 125 kts with gusts to 150 kts.
A slight weakening is expected during the next couple of days as the system interacts with land, but Matthew is expected to remain a powerful hurricane through at least 5 October.
The center of Matthew will pass near southwestern Haiti during the day, then turn N-NW-ward and move over eastern Cuba early on the 5th and over southeastern and central Bahamas on 6 October.
This is a very strong and dangerous system and will bring violent winds and high storm surges along with torrential rainfall when it makes landfall.
The confidence in the forecasted intensity and track is HIGH for the next 36 hrs but becomes less certain as is moves over Bahamas and off the east coast of Florida.
Although the track is uncertain, there is a risk that Matthew will have severe affect along the US East coast later this week and weekend.
