Bret Turns Away From The Bahamas

Tropical storm Bret continued to gain strength in the Atlantic Ocean off the Bahamas. Although Bret, the second storm of the season, moved closer to the Bahamas – about 65 miles (105 kilometers) northwest of Great Abaco Island, according to the National Weather Service – it is expected to move out to sea later in the day.

Despite the forecast Grand Bahama Island and the Abaco Islands in the northwest Bahamas remained under a tropical storm warning Monday morning.

Bret’s maximum sustained winds were 50 mph (85 kph) and it was drifting northeast at 3 mph (6 kph). The storm could dump two to four inches of rain in the northwest Bahamas but is expected to begin moving north-northeast as it strengthens over the next day or two.
