Well, it’s never over in the tropics till it’s over — and there’s an area of low pressure several hundred miles east of the Bahamas.  The National Hurricane Center gives it a medium chance of becoming a tropical (or more likely, subtropical) depression during the next few days as it moves generally northeastward into colder waters.
