MIAMI (Reuters) - Thunderstorms from dissipated Tropical Storm Emily moved over eastern Cuba and southeastern Bahamas on Friday and had a 60 percent chance of regenerating into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Authorities in Florida were watching the weather system as it moved northwest but most forecast tracks showed it keeping away from the state's south coast and eventually swinging into the Atlantic.
The remnants of Emily posed no threat to oil and gas production facilities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
