National Hurricane Center
Hurricane Maria is being closely watched because her path, at least in the early stages, resembles that of Irma. However, Maria’s path, in some of the latest trackers and models, shows her veering to the north and missing the U.S. Maria is expected to become a hurricane by the end of Sunday.
It’s too soon to tell for sure, however, which direction the weather system will take. That has people following the latest storm closely.
