TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Paloma strengthened to a hurricane with winds near 75 mph Thursday as it churned toward the Cayman Islands and Cuba.
Forecasters say the storm is expected to continue strengthening as it moves north and could become a major Category 3 hurricane by Saturday as it approaches Cuba.
A hurricane warning is in effect for the Cayman Islands, where the storm could dump up to 8 inches of rain, said the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Paloma might make landfall in Cuba over the weekend, the center said.
