Tropical Storm Bret formed in the Atlantic Ocean on Monday and is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane, presenting a threat to parts of the Caribbean by Thursday.The National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami said in an update that Bret is set to "move across the Lesser Antilles as a hurricane on Thursday and Friday, bringing a risk of flooding from heavy rainfall, hurricane-force winds, and dangerous storm surge and waves.
As of Monday evening, Bret had maximum sustained wind speeds of around 40 mph and was expected to strengthen. The tropical storm was moving west at 21 mph, putting it on track to reach the Lesser Antilles later this week.
Strengthening is forecast, and Bret could become a hurricane in a couple of days," reads an NHC public advisory. The NHC said it's too early to tell exactly where the hazards could hit or how strong Bret could become, citing a "larger than usual uncertainty in the track forecast.
