portions of the southeastern and central Bahamas tonight and
Wednesday, and approach the northwestern Bahamas Wednesday night
Maximum sustained winds are near 145 mph (230 km/h) with higher
gusts. Matthew is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson

during the next couple of days, but Matthew is expected to remain a
powerful hurricane through at least Wednesday night.
