Miami (AFP) Oct 29, 2010 Tropical Storm Shary strengthened Friday in the Atlantic as it headed towards Bermuda, the US National Hurricane Center said Friday, adding that a new system was forming off the coast of French Guyana. At 1500 GMT, Shary was 339 kilometers (205 miles) southeast of Bermuda, packing winds of of 65 kilometers (40 miles) per hour, the NHC said. The storm was moving towards the northwest at 30 kilometers (18 miles) per hour and was forecast to pass late Friday near the east of Bermuda, where officials have issued storm warnings. "Some strengthening is forecast (Friday), with weakening likely over the weekend" as the storm heads into the open waters of the Atlantic, the NHC said. Separately, a weather system just off the coast of far north-eastern Brazil, French Guyana and Suriname was producing showers and thunderstorms and expected to strengthen in the next days. "There is a high chance -- 60 percent -- of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours," the NHC said. The water-logged Caribbean basin has endured a heavy 2010 storm season. The ground is saturated with moisture in many areas, and more rain could easily trigger landslides and flooding.
