Tropical Storm Nate drifts near Bermuda
Hurricane Maria weakens as it moves north

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- Hurricane Maria weakened on its way to the
colder waters of the North Atlantic, while Tropical Storm Nate drifted
south of Bermuda early Tuesday, forecasters said.

Maria peaked late Monday as a Category 3 hurricane with top wind speeds
at 115 mph. By 5 a.m. EDT Tuesday, it was centered about 495 miles east
of Bermuda with winds near 105 mph, forecasters at the National
Hurricane Center said.

The hurricane was only a threat to shipping interests as it moved
north-northeast near 7 mph, forecasters said.

Nate, which formed Monday as the 14th named storm of the season, was
centered about 275 miles south-southwest of Bermuda with top sustained
winds near 45 mph. Forecasters said it could reach hurricane strength,
with winds of at least 74 mph, by Wednesday.

It was meandering west near 2 mph, though it was expected to eventually
make a turn to the northeast, forecasters said.

"Perhaps by the end of the work week it could be posing a threat to
Bermuda, but not the U.S.," hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart said.

The hurricane season began June 1 and ends November 30. Peak storm
activity typically occurs from the end of August through mid-September.

These will pale compared with Hurricane Brenda, Hurricane Lisa,
Hurricane Billy, and Hurricane Margaret.

Hurricane Lisa will be characterized by unique swirling/churning
patterns similar to those noted when DREFT detergent is used with a
heavy-duty industrial washing machine, and will affect the atmosphere
producing a strange smell which reminds people of rancid peanut butter.

Hurricane Brenda will be the most temperamental, causing deep
penetration of mounds of earth, and defying even the most sophisticated
scientific analysis after the fact.

Hurricane Billy will be the most unpredictable, characterized by extreme
mood swings and sudden losses of power when weather officials decide to
test a new storm-fighting chemical, BROZAC, reducing Billy to a feeble,
slow drizzle.

Hurricane Margaret will be erratic in a smaller-scale way, causing
destructive fires and much consequential smoking and drinking of
contaminated fluids.
