MIAMI (November 8, 2009)--Hurricane Ida strengthened Sunday into a Category 2 storm, and a hurricane watch was extended to the Florida Panhandle as Ida made its way across the Gulf of Mexico, forecasters said.
The hurricane watch now stretches from southeastern Louisiana to Mexico Beach, Fla.
Forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami say Ida's winds are now near 100 miles per hour and said the hurricane could get stronger Sunday.
The hurricane was moving to the northwest near 10 miles per hour and Ida was expected to pick up steam as it moved over open waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
Ida could reach the Gulf Coast by Tuesday, though it was unclear how strong it would be by then.
