(Reuters)

The US National Hurricane Center on Saturday said there is a 90 percent chance of cyclone formation in 48 hours near the southeastern Bahamas.

The low-pressure system located less than 100 miles (161 km) east of the Turks and Caicos Islands has developed a well-defined center and continues to produce a concentrated area of showers and thunderstorms, the Miami-based forecaster said.
