Tropical Storm Hanna is picking up a little speed as it heads from the Bahamas toward the southeastern United States.
The National Hurricane Center says Hanna's top winds are holding around 65 miles-per-hour, with higher gusts, and it's moving northwest at about 14 miles per hour. At latest report, Hanna is about 670 miles south-southeast of Wilmington, North Carolina.
The storm is not expected to gain any strength today, but forecasters say it could become a hurricane tomorrow before it hits the coast. While the center of the storm may not reach the U.S. before Saturday, they say its rain and winds should be felt "well in advance."
Forecasters says storm-surge flooding along the coast could be as much as 3 feet above normal tide levels. They are also warning about the possibility of "dangerous rip currents" along the coast.
Forecasters are also keeping an eye on what's coming behind Hanna. Hurricane Ike is a Category 4 storm, with top winds near 140 miles per hour. It could reach the Bahamas by Monday.
