...CINDY MOVING NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC...FORECAST

(5 PM EDT Sunday July 17) A tropical depression has formed near the Bahamas, prompting that government to issue a Tropical Storm Watch.  The tropical depression, TD TWO, currently has sustained winds near 35 MPH with higher gusts.  Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours and the storm could become a Named Tropical Storm later Sunday night.  Should that occur, it would be named  Bret.

It is not expected to become a hurricane based on the current forecast models, but we will continue to monitor the storm until the NHC discontinues advisories.
