The National Hurricane Center has increased the chances of tropical cyclone formation to 90 percent as a low pressure system becomes better organized between Bermuda and the Bahamas.
In a special tropical weather forecast issued this morning, hurricane center meteorologists said the system continues to show signs of development, including a better defined circulation.
A sub-tropical or tropical storm could develop today or Saturday. Maximum surface wind speeds are 29 mph, according to a NOAA satellite analysis.
A U.S. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter Aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system this afternoon to collect more detailed information about the storm.
Forecasters are cautioning that everyone along the coast between Georgia and the Carolinas should keep an eye on this system.
