(Bloomberg) -- A storm that would be named Bonnie threatens holiday cookouts and celebrations along the U.S. coast from North Carolina to Georgia over the Memorial Day weekend.
If the low-pressure system now northeast of the Bahamas develops, it will become the second named storm in the Atlantic in 2016 prior to the hurricane season’s official June 1 start. There’s a 50% chance it could form by Saturday.
“With Memorial Day weekend approaching, all interests along the southeast coast from Georgia through North Carolina should monitor the progress of this low,” Lixion Avila, a senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center, wrote in an advisory.
