Miami — A depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Harvey as it slowly approached Bermuda, forecasters said Wednesday night.
Harvey, the eighth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, had top sustained winds of about 60 mph, up from 40 mph earlier Wednesday.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said there was a small chance Harvey could become a hurricane - with sustained winds of at least 74 mph - when its center passes near Bermuda this morning.
A tropical storm warning was posted for Bermuda, meaning tropical storm conditions were expected within 24 hours.
Two to 4 inches of rain were possible for the islands that sit about 1,000 miles northeast of Miami, meteorologists said.
