Hurricane Esther Could Veer NW Toward Northwest
Hurricane Esther, packing winds up to 130 mph, moved on a west-northwest Atlantic path with slight indications it might turn toward the northwest. Forecaster Kiatt cautioned it was early to predict a change, with Esther expected to maintain a 30 mph drift for the next day or so and little change in size or intensity. Air reconnaissance placed Esther near latitude 21.7 north, longitude 54.7 west, about 800 miles east of the Leeward Islands and northeast of San Juan.
