The storm is moving northwest near 22 km/h, and is expected to make a further turn to the north this evening, perhaps sparing some of the islands — such as Nassau — a direct hit, though high surf and winds are expected.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect for Northwestern Bahamas where 25 to 77 mm of rain is expected to fall overnight.
