Hurricane Irma is expected to strengthen as it moves west over the Altantic Ocean this weekend, with the potential to become a Category 5 hurricane, more powerful than Hurricane Harvey, according to Fox News.

Hurricane Irma is already alarming some meteorologists because of how powerful it is while still far out over the Atlantic.

On Thursday,Aug. 31, Irma intensified to a Category 3 storm. The National Hurricane Center forecast it to be “an extremely dangerous” storm in the next few days.
