Tropical Storm Cindy is set to become a Hurricane this morning and last night it showed signs of straying from making a bee-line for Bermuda.

But experts at the Bermuda Weather Service say she remains unpredictable and could still pose a threat.

Cindy is forecast to come within 195-nautical miles southeast of the Island by 3 p.m. Saturday and forecasters say the storm is becoming more organised as it progresses and is expected to speed up.

Meteorologist Kimberley Stevenson said: "It is continuing to intensify and would do more damage if it hit the Island.'' Cindy a potential threat to Island "If it continues on track we will be issuing tropical storm watches -- meaning that Bermuda is likely to encounter winds of 34-63 knots within the next 36 hours.

"It is set to intensify then weaken. Even if Cindy comes within 100 miles of Bermuda we will still get sea swell and rough marine conditions.

"Closer than that and we will get high tides and flooding on the Causeway and the low areas along the coast.

"If it hits, then it could take several hours to pass over us. There would be flooding, electrical wires could come down and people should stay at home.'' Last night Cindy was 1,185 miles southeast of Bermuda and travelling northwest at 14 knots.

Tropical storm Emily had also gained strength last night. On Tuesday it was stationary but yesterday had started moving.

Ms Stevenson said it had stayed strong despite counter winds pushing back at it.

But she added: "Emily is the smallest of the three tropical storms. If Emily continues in the wake of Dennis it could weaken as it hits colder water.

Last night Emily was 1250-nautical miles south southeast of Bermuda. The longest range prediction puts Emily 798-nautical miles south of Bermuda at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
