Hurricane Delta forecast to make historic landfall along Gulf Coast

[Martin Oliver Cloonan]

After becoming a hurricane over the Caribbean on Monday evening, Delta continued to gain strength early Tuesday morning. AccuWeather forecasters are warning that the powerful storm could strike the central Gulf Coast of the United States prior to the end of this week.

The storm is expected to gain enough strength to become a major hurricane -- Category 3 or greater -- prior to striking the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula and then the U.S.
