Tropical Storm Ida forms in the Caribbean, could hit US as a hurricane


(CNN) Tropical Storm Ida has formed in the Caribbean Sea and confidence is growing that a potentially major hurricane could hit the United States by late this weekend or early next week. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the Cayman Islands and western Cuba. A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. Steady strengthening is forecast during the next few days and the system is expected to become a tropical storm Thursday night. John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency Thursday due to the potential impacts and further development of Tropical Storm Ida.
