Hurricane Jeanne is moving closer to land with strong feeder bands sweeping over Florida.
"JEANNE HAS BEEN MOVING BETWEEN THE WEST AND WEST-NORTHWEST AT 14 MPH DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS. A GRADUAL TURN TO THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ON THIS TRACK...THE CORE OF THE HURRICANE WILL REACH THE FLORIDA EAST COAST TONIGHT. HURRICANE FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD INLAND AS MUCH AS 100 MILES ALONG THE TRACK OF JEANNE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 115 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. JEANNE IS A DANGEROUS CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE. SOME ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING IS POSSIBLE BEFORE LANDFALL IN FLORIDA. STRONGER WINDS...ESPECIALLY IN GUSTS...ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR ON HIGH RISE BUILDINGS. HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 70 MILES FROM THE CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 205 MILES. SETTLEMENT POINT ON THE WESTERN END OF GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND RECENTLY REPORTED A WIND GUST TO 98 MPH. A FLORIDA COASTAL MONITORING PROGRAM WIND TOWER IN VERO BEACH RECENTLY REPORTED A WIND GUST TO 63 MPH. THE LATEST MINIMUM PRESSURE CENTRAL PRESSURE REPORTED BY A NOAA HURRICANE HUNTER PLANE 951 MB...28.08 INCHES."

" Hurricane Jeanne got stronger, bigger and faster as it began slamming into storm-weary Florida Saturday, sending huge waves crashing into beaches and again forcing thousands into shelters just weeks after Frances ravaged this area.
Jeanne, a dangerous Category 3 storm with 115 mph winds, followed its forecasted track Saturday, aiming for landfall on the Treasure Coast around midnight. The storm took a northward turn after hitting the Bahamas and thus spared Broward, southern Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties of the worst winds. At 7 p.m., the storm was 90 miles east-southeast of Vero Beach, moving a little north of due west near 14 mph. If it maintains that forward speed, it would make landfall about midnight, depending on how far north it aims. As it churns into increasingly warm waters, the system was forecast to build close to 130 mph, or just shy of a devastating Category 4 monster. Tropical storm force winds, with gusts greater than 40 mph, were spreading into Palm Beach and the Martin County areas before noon. By Saturday night, the north end of Palm Beach County could be thrashed with hurricane conditions, while much of the rest of Florida could see tropical force winds and heavy downpours. Jeanne could bring up to 10 inches of rain to Palm Beach County and up to 6 inches in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, forecasters said. The storm was expected to rage through Saturday night, with winds subsiding over most of the tri-county area by Sunday afternoon. In addition to its pelting winds and rain, Jeanne posed a danger in storm surge flooding 4 to 8 feet above normal tide levels, as well as large battering waves. And the coast isn't the only area that would be endangered: a storm surge of up to 7 feet above the present water level is likely for the east side of Lake Okeechobee, the National Hurricane Center in Miami-Dade County said. The system's wind field, the area with the most dangerous gusts, almost doubled in size in the past day, as hurricane force winds now extend 70 miles from its core and tropical force winds extend about 205 miles."

Jeanne, which killed more than 1,000 people when it dumped torrential rains on Haiti last weekend, is expected to move over the northern Bahamas on Saturday and hit the Florida coast Sunday.
