March 27 (UPI) -- A weather disturbance east of the Bahamas bears the early appearance of a pre-tropical storm system but is not likely to organize into a named storm.
The low-pressure system spinning in the Atlantic packed gale-force winds up to 46 mph and 17-foot waves, posing a hazard to shipping. But relatively cool ocean temperatures of 75 degrees and strong wind shear of up to 69 mph make tropical storm development near impossible. It shows some circulation but no organized collection of storm activity.
