NHC says 80 pct chance of cyclone near Leeward Islands
Sept 12 (Reuters) - A low pressure system located about 900 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands has an 80 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Monday.
If the circulation of the system becomes better defined, a tropical storm could form later on Monday before upper-level winds become less conducive for development, the Miami-based weather forecaster said. (Reporting by Swati Verma in Bengaluru; Editing by Gopakumar Warrier)
