Tropical Depression # 9 formed Saturday morning, as what was a potential tropical depression developed a closed circulation. There is now a tropical storm watch for the Florida east coast from the Palm Beach/Martin County line northward to the Flagler/Volusia county line. There’s a tropical storm warning for the central Bahamas and portions of the northwestern Bahamas, including Nassau and Grand Bahama Island.
At 11 am, TD # 9 was about 115 miles south-southwest of the central Bahamas and was moving northwest at 6 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 35 miles per hour at that time, but TD # 9 is forecast to become Tropical Storm Imelda later on Saturday. TD # 9 is likely to reach hurricane strength on Tuesday, but its track once it is offshore of northern Florida remains highly uncertain.
