TAMPA BAY, Fla — The NHC is reporting a 70% chance that a disturbance off Florida's east coast will be upgraded to a Tropical Cyclone.
The NHC says satellite images indicate that a low-pressure system located a few hundred miles northeast of the central Bahamas is gradually becoming better defined.
A tropical depression is likely to form during the next day or two while the system moves north-northwestward to northward off the southeast U.S. coast.
Air Force Hurricane Hunters are actively investigating the disturbance.
