NHC says 60 percent chance of tropical storm approaching Bahamas

An upper-level trough and a weak surface low located over theĀ northwestern Bahamas has a 60 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Wednesday.

"Conditions are expected to become gradually more favorable for development over the next day or so while the system moves slowly northward," the NHC said.

Interests along the southeast coast of the United States should monitor the progress of this system through the weekend, the Miami-based weather forecaster said.
