Hurricane Delta Forecast To Intensify Before Friday Landfall Along U.S. Gulf Coast

HOUSTON, Oct 8 (NNN-AGENCIES) – Hurricane Delta is expected to intensify into a major hurricane, before making landfall tomorrow, along the U.S. Gulf Coast, a forecast said.

Delta, now a Category 1 hurricane, passed over Cancun, Mexico, early Wednesday, and is now over the open Gulf of Mexico.

It is moving quickly to the northwest at 24 km per hour, and is expected to strengthen on its trek across the Gulf, said the forecast.

According to the projection, Delta will most likely make landfall tomorrow afternoon, along the coast of the U.S. state of Louisiana.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Tropical Storm Watch, Hurricane Watch and Storm Surge Watch are in effect for some areas along the Gulf Coast.– NNN-AGENCIES
