Igor will remain a very strong and dangerous hurricane through the week and beyond in the Atlantic due to favorable weather conditions.

Currently, Igor is a Category 4 hurricane. While the strength could wobble a bit over the next couple of days, but it is likely that Igor has passed his peak intensity.

Hurricanes go through cycles, strengthening and weakening.

Igor strengthened into the day Monday but weakened a bit during the late day and overnight hours.

Igor is forecast by the AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center to begin a curve to the northwest over the next 24 to 48 hours, steering the system to the northeast of the Antilles. [ ACCUWEATHER ]
