Igor is moving toward the west at near 20 miles per hour. This general forward motion is forecast to continue over the next 48 hours with only a few small changes in forward speed.
Tropical storm force winds now extend outward up to 115 miles from the center. That makes Igor a lot bigger than the storm was yesterday where winds reached only 45 miles outward from the center. The major winds are still the ones facing towards the west.
