Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten has formed off the coast of Georgia.

Although the Bermuda Weather Service said the system is not considered a threat to Bermuda at this time, it is forecast “to at least be responsible for strong winds and surge by Wednesday into Thursday”.

At 6pm, the system was stationary and its closest point of approach to Bermuda within three days was forecast to be 443 nautical miles to the north-northwest at 8am on Wednesday.

However, the advisory added that it may move closer to Bermuda after this time period.

According to the National Hurricane Centre, the system is expected to become a tropical storm tonight or tomorrow and post-tropical on Tuesday.

The forecast track suggests it will move slowly towards the South Carolina coast tonight and Monday, before moving near the northeastern coast of South Carolina and along the North Carolina coast.
