The track forecast for weather system that may become Tropical Storm Irma. Already, the National Weather Service has hoisted a tropical storm watch for the Atlantic coast from Georgetown, S.C., to the tip of Cape Hatteras. The National Hurricane Center in Miami has given the wave of low pressure currently situated just off the Northeast Florida coastline — designated Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten — a 70 percent chance of developing into a tropical storm within 48 hours. Winds of tropical storm force are possible along the eastern shore of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, causing minor to moderate coastal erosion Tuesday and Wednesday morning. The majority of models show the East Coast system reaching tropical storm status (upper left corner) by Monday evening.
