It’s predicted the storm will reach hurricane strength by late Friday.
The hurricane centre says it’s monitoring the region, but adds its still too early to determine the details.
Earlier this week, the centre reported things were heating up in the Atlantic with several storms including Fred and Grace churning south of their response zone.
