How likely that it will reach cat 5 before it hits land?

Probably not very, but then again I would have thought 4 was out of the question.

Charley should be reaching landfall in the next couple hours. It's a high CAT 4 now. Don't know if it'll have enough time to build to a CAT 5--but a CAT 4 is plenty nasty.

A category 5 has sustained winds of 155 mph or greater. The US has only been hit by 3 cat 5's in the past: Labor Day of 1935, Camille in 1969, and Andrew in 1992. The storm is obviously intensifying rapidly now and if it continues, could strengthen by 10 more mph. Can't really put a number on it, though.

The chief meterologist on our local station BayNews9 just said that it could briefly become a category 5.
