Hurricane Katia
MIAMI — Tropical Storm Katia was expected to strengthen into a hurricane over the open Atlantic on Wednesday night, while another mass of thunderstorms in the western Caribbean has a 30 percent chance of becoming a tropical storm and could move into the Gulf of Mexico, forecasters said.

At 5 p.m. ET, Katia had sustained winds of 70 miles per hour and would become the second hurricane of the June-through-November Atlantic hurricane season if those winds reach 74 mph.
Forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami expected that to happen Wednesday night.
Katia was forecast to then become a major hurricane with winds over 111 mph on Sunday, but it was still too early to tell whether it would threaten land.
The National Hurricane Center cautioned the public — still recovering along parts of the East Coast from Irene — not to stress over the storm yet, even though it's over warm waters and in a low wind shear environment, two ingredients that could propel it to become a major hurricane.
