 MIAMI (AP) - A hurricane warning was issued for the Azores as Hurricane Gordon moved rapidly toward the sparsely populated group of islands Tuesday, while Hurricane Helene remained a large Category 3 storm but was expected to miss Bermuda, forecasters said.
The islands off the Atlantic coast of Africa should feel the effects of Gordon by Tuesday night, said Dan Brown, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Two to 4 inches of rain were expected, with higher terrain possibly getting 6 inches.
As of 8 a.m. EDT, Gordon was centered about 525 miles west of Terceira in the Azores and moving east near 28 mph. This motion was expected to continue throughout the next day.
