The 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season continues to chug along. We have our 10th named storm, and 5th hurricane of the season in Hurricane Julia, and the season is only about half way over.

Hurricane Igor is a strong category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. As of the 11 AM advisory from the National hurricane Center, Igor was located at 18.3°N 52.3°W, and was moving in a WNW direction at about 7 miles per hour. The projected path for Hurricane Igor is one which takes it extremely close to Bermuda by Saturday morning as likely a category 2 storm.

Hurricane Julia is well East of Igor, with maximum sustained winds of 85 miles per hour. Julia is moving WNW as well at 10 miles per hour. Computer models as well as the NHC have given a projected path that will have Julia miss land altogether, and recurve northward over the next several days. Models put it a good 750 miles East of Bermuda come Sunday.

The peak of Hurricane season was September 10th, meaning activity should decrease from here on out. Having said this, meteorologists expect several more hurricanes over the next 2 months or so.
