ORLANDO, Fla. — Potential tropical cyclone Nine has been declared near eastern Cuba, and the system will likely produce marine impacts along Florida’s east coast.
The 5 pm advisory from the National Hurricane Center has winds of 35 mph.
A potential tropical cyclone is a system that is not fully formed but will likely become one.
The complex is expected to be a tropical depression or storm by the weekend.
Tropical storm watches and warnings are posted for much of the Bahamas.
Additional watches and warnings are likely this weekend.
PTC Nine is expected to lift across the Bahamas this weekend and stay east of Florida.
The threat to marine and beach impacts is increasing along the east coast, and gusty winds will be possible right at the beaches Sunday into Monday.
PTC Nine is expected to push toward the Carolinas by mid-next week, where the threat of significant impacts is increasing.
Should it shift further west than currently forecast, the system is still one to monitor.
