Hurricane Fabian churned in the Atlantic packing powerful winds Monday but meteorologists said it was too early to predict whether it would pose any threat to the United States.

In Texas, meanwhile, remnants of Tropical Storm Grace moved steadily northward after the weak storm blew into the state, promising a wet end and the possibility of flooding for the Labor Day Weekend.

Fabian was maintaining sustained winds of 140 mph, making the storm a dangerous Category 4 hurricane. The hurricane was located about 400 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands by 5 a.m. EDT - several days from any potential landfall.

Forecasters predicted it would gradually turn toward the west-northwest during the next day and pass well north of the Northern Leeward Islands.
