Forecasters expect Irene to intensify

MIAMI -- Tropical depression Irene became a tropical storm once again as it got better organized while moving closer to the East Coast on Wednesday, raising the possibility it could eventually hit the United States as a hurricane, forecasters said.

Irene's top sustained winds had strengthened to near 40 mph, giving it tropical storm status. Tropical storms have sustained winds of at least 39 mph.


Forecasters say Tropical Storm Irene could eventually hit the United States as a hurricane.
At 11 p.m. EDT, Irene was about 680 miles south-southeast of Bermuda, forecasters said.

It was moving west-northwest near 13 mph and was to continue over the next five days in the general direction of the U.S. coastline from Florida to the Carolinas, according to National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Jennifer Pralgo, a hurricane center meteorologist, said it is possible that Irene could reach hurricane strength winds of 74 mph if it reaches land as it will be passing over warmer waters.

"We need to see how much it will get its act together," she said.

Irene became a tropical storm Sunday, breaking records as the earliest ninth named storm in the Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1 and ends Nov. 30. Normally, there are only two named storms by this time in the season.
