Florida State at Wake Forest: Hurricane, weather watch

Perhaps not the All Canes Conference some expected, this Saturday's slate of ACC games could indeed be impacted by the approach of Hurricane Joaquin.

The most recent update from the National Hurricane Center has Joaquin as a very powerful Category 3 hurricane, with sustained winds of 125 mph.

Many weather geeks such as myself are in full-on model-watch mode. There seems to be a recent shift in the forecast track away from land, but it is noted that confidence in a forecast track for this particular storm is low.

The NHC currently projects Joaquin to grow to a 140 mph Category 4 hurricane in the next 24 hours or so, which would make it one of the more powerful North Atlantic hurricanes in recent years.
