Andrew Building To Hurricane Andrew Expected To Strengthen
AP report notes Tropical Storm Andrew could become the season's first hurricane by Saturday afternoon though it poses no immediate danger to U S interests. Forecaster Max Mayfield at the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables said the weekend should pass with no U S impact as the storm nears the Bahamas and strengthens with a developing eye. The storm moved west-northwest near 10 mph and is forecast to be northeast of the Bahamas in two days as forecasters monitor its path through Sunday and Monday. Mayfield likens forecasting to a chess game as he tracks each move of Andrew.
