Tropical Storm Bret: See spaghetti models, projected path and storm activity for Florida
Tropical Storm Bret formed Monday over the central Atlantic, becoming the second named storm of the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane season.
Bret is not expected to become a hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center's 11 a.m. Tuesday update.
The system should move across the Lesser Antilles Thursday, bringing a risk of flooding from heavy rainfall, strong winds and dangerous waves along the coast, according to the NHC.
Given the larger than usual uncertainty in the forecast track, it is too early to specify the location and magnitude of where these hazards could occur.
The NHC encourages everyone in the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands to closely monitor updates to the forecast for Bret.
