NOAA: Tropical Depression #8

Tropical Depression #8 has just formed about 310 miles west of Bermuda. Maximum winds are around 30 mph. The system is expected to possibly strengthen to a minimal tropical storm as it moves toward the west-northwest. The system is then expected to curve out to sea before reaching land. With this forecast track, any impacts to SE VA, NE NC and the eastern shore will be minimal, although high swell and a moderate to high risk of rip currents are possible through the week.
