FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER: Nigel is moving toward the north-northwest near 12 mph and this general motion is expected to continue for the next couple of days. Nigel is then forecast to turn northward late Tuesday, and then accelerate northeastward through the rest of the week. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 70 mph with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Nigel is forecast to become a major hurricane on Tuesday.
