<p>Americans now know that the eye of the powerful hurricane will either just miss Florida&#8217;s coast or perhaps hit the shore this week.</p> 
<p>But there are also fears that the hurricane could go out to sean and loop round return to the battered state early next week as well.</p> 
<a type="internal" /> 
<p>The National Hurricane Center&#8217;s latest forecast shows that the hurricane is likely to hit or brush Florida then to go back out to sea.</p> 
<p>It is not yet known when the hurricane will leave the coast at Florida or further north in Georgia or the Carolinas.</p> 
<p>Some models are now showing that Hurricane could go out to sea and then do a u-turn and head back to Florida for second time.</p> 
<p>This would be a devastating double blow for the state where thousands of Americans have been told to evacuate the coast before it is &#8220;too late&#8221;.</p> This is the latest map from the National Hurricane Centre 
<p>The Met Office storm tracker yesterday showed the hurricane was going to make a clear loop back in the direction of Florida</p> 
<p>But the latest map has been updated and shows the hurricane heading further out into the ocean towards Bermuda.</p> 
<p>The Met Office said: &#8220;There is high uncertainty in the movement of Matthew early next week.</p> 
<p>&#8220;It may stay out at sea and slowly weaken, but there is a possibility that it will make a clockwise loop and head towards Florida or the Bahamas again.&#8221;</p> This is the map from the Met Office storm tracker on Wednesday October 5 This is the updated map from the Met Office storm tracker on Thursday October 6 
<p>Met Office tropical prediction scientist Julian Heming said there is a &#8220;huge amount of uncertainty&#8221; about what Matthew does next.</p> 
<p>He said that some of the models yesterday showed that the Matthew could drift off out to sea and then &#8220;lift off&#8221; the northeast.</p> 
<p>Other models showed that the hurricane could go off the coast but then loop round to the south, possibly back to the Bahamas and Florida.</p> 
<p>But Mr Heming said its was &#8220;far from clear&#8221; what was going to happen that far in advance because hurricanes often change course.</p> 
<p>Large swathes of this section of the East Coast are being evacuated and under states of emergency as the hurricane approaches.</p> 
<p>Tue, October 4, 2016</p> At least 108 people have been killed by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti and the Dominican Republic as the United States braces itself for the worst storm in a decade. Tropical Storm Matthew, which has since gained hurricane strength, is seen in an image captured by NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite. 
<p>A Hurricane Warning is in effect for North of Golden Beach to Fernandina Beach and Lake Okeechobee.</p> 
<p>In addition, a Hurricane Watch alert warns that hurricane conditions are possible in north of Fernandina Beach along the coast in Georgia to Edisto Beach in South Carolina.</p> 
<p>There is also a Tropical Storm Warning in effect for Florida Bay, Chokoloskee to Golden Beach and Florida Keys from Seven Mile Bridge eastward.</p> 
<p>The NHC said hurricane conditions are due to hit Florida by late today and will spread northward Thursday night and Friday.</p> 
<p>It said that hurricane conditions are also possible in Georgia and South Carolina by late Friday.</p>
Could Hurricane Matthew loop around and hit Florida for a SECOND time?
