Matthew Now Restrengthening

WUFT

Hurricane Matthew has begun to re-strengthen on its approach to The Bahamas. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting it to be a Category 4 as it approaches the Atlantic coast Thursday night. There is nothing standing in the way of Matthew and Florida. Hurricane Warnings have been extended north to the Flagler/Volusia county line. Details on specific localized impacts will become much clearer by this afternoon as new model data comes in.
