Tropical Depression # 9 has formed in the Bahamas late on Friday afternoon, as expected. It is forecast to become a tropical storm on Saturday. TD # 9’s impact on South Florida’s weather will be limited to pushing in some tropical moisture; winds here should remain below tropical storm strength.
At 5 pm, TD # 9 was located near 25.6 North, 75.0 West. That’s about 140 miles east-southeast of Great Abaco Island and 240 miles east-southeast of Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. TD # 9 was moving northwest at 8 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 30 miles per hour.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the northwestern Bahamas, with the exception of Andros Island. A tropical storm watch is in effect in Florida from Jupiter Inlet to the Volusia/Flagler county line.
TD # 9’s forecast track indicates it will remain offshore of the Florida coast. It could be a potential threat to Bermuda by the middle of next week.
