(Reuters) – Potential Tropical Cyclone Thirteen over the southern Caribbean Sea is expected to become a tropical storm during the next day or so, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Thursday.
The system is located about 150 miles (240 km) east-southeast of Curacao, with maximum sustained winds of 35 miles per hour (55 km/h), the Miami-based forecaster said.
The system is then expected to become a hurricane by Sunday as it approaches the coast of Nicaragua, the NHC added.
