The Bahamas, drying out from Hurricane Dorian, now faces a tropical depression, which is expected to grow stronger overnight.
As the island nation continues to dig out from that calamity, it must now prepare for what could be another.
The Bahamian Department of Meteorology said in a statement that a military flight tracked the weather system Friday and placed it about 190 miles east-southeast of Marsh Harbour, Bahamas, which is part of the country's northern Abaco Islands."The system has been meandering during the past few hours," the department said,"but is expected to resume a slow motion toward the northwest and north-northwest later today.
The system appears to be moving east of Florida, out to the Atlantic, but forecasters are still warning people along the East Coast of the United States to pay attention to forecasts and warnings, said Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center.
