Re: Tropical Storm Bret Slowly Strengthening, Moving Away from US

It has a good shot at reaching hurricane strength tonight, probably by the 8PM or 11PM advisory, at least forecast to do so at 5PM. It is really getting its act together right now as it may be forming an eyewall (Just look at the southern side on satellite imagery)

It looks to be no real threat to the US or Bermuda, though. The Bam models are no good for a strengthening system like this (perhaps a much weaker one)
