Its centered about 120 miles east-southeast of Long Island in the Bahamas, moving toward the northwest. Maximum sustained winds are 45 mph, and some further strengthening during the next 48 hours is expected. A Tropical Storm Warning issued by the Government of the Bahamas continues for the Southeastern Bahamas, including the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Central Bahamas. Interests in the Northwest Bahamas should monitor the progress of this system as a Tropical Storm Watch will likely be required for that area on later today.
