Updated Forecast for Igor... Two others to watch... More in the future?

Well Igor, which i was so confident last night would become a category 5 hurricane, didn't do so... But I see where my mistake was... I was too late on the eye replacement... It came too early for Igor to become a category 5... Now done with the eye replacement cycle, Igor should be able to become a category 5 hurricane... But... It won't because now Igor will begin to move over colder waters... Still, it should become a strong category 4 hurricane again (Right now packing winds of 145 and gusts of 180, should get back to winds 150 or 155, and gusts close to 200 mph) before slowly loosing strength and giving into category 3 status... And When it makes its closest passing to Bermuda (possible direct hit) it will be a weak category 3 before weakening to category 2 just past Bermuda with its closest approach to the Northeast... Now back to its "closest U.S. approach". Well unfortunately it did make that West north westerly turn this morning but still well off from the original forecast... So yes, i tweaked my forecast just a bit, but i still believe it will pass in between the U.S. east coast, and Bermuda... So here it is... Enjoy!
