Teddy has become a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph, the National Hurricane Center said.
The storm has strengthened into a major hurricane, as of 11 a.m. on Wednesday.
The storm is expected to approach the Bermuda as a major hurricane this weekend. The exact details about Teddy's track and intensity are not yet known, the National Hurricane Center reports, but the risk of strong winds, storm surge and heavy rainfall is increasing.
The storm is currently located about 610 miles east-northeast of The Lesser Antilles. Teddy has maximum sustained winds of 120 mph.
The hurricane is moving toward the northwest at about 12 miles per hour, the general motion it is expected to continue through the weekend.
Swells produced by the storm are expected to affect portions of the Leeward Islands, the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, Bermuda and the southeastern United States later this week.
