Hurricane Matthew downgraded

October 08, 2016 03:04

Hurricane Matthew has been downgraded to a Category 2 storm, according to the latest update from the US National Hurricane Centre.

In a release, the center said that "we have been very fortunate that Matthew's strongest winds have remained a short distance offshore of the Florida Coast thus far, but this should not be a reason to let down our guard," adding that only a small deviation to the left of the forecast track could bring the winds onshore.

The western eyewall of the storm, which contains the strongest winds, is still expected to move "over or very near" the coast of north-eastern Florida and Georgia tonight.
