Less than a week after Irene ravaged much of the East Coast, Hurricane Katia roared to life in the central Atlantic with winds of 75 mph, forecasters said.

By late Wednesday night, the Category 1 storm - the second hurricane of the Atlantic season - was about 1165 miles east of the Leeward Islands, spinning to the north-northwest at 20 mph.

Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours and Katia could become a major hurricane by the weekend, the hurricane center said.

The extended forecast map shows the storm passing north of the Caribbean.

Elsewhere, forecasters saw the potential for a new tropical storm that could hit the US Gulf Coast over the weekend.

A cluster of storms over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico could become a tropical depression by Thursday with the help of upper-level winds that are forecast to aid development, the National Hurricane Center said.
