'Strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Margot is likely to become a hurricane tonight,' a National Hurricane Center advisory states.
A tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean is being tracked by the National Hurricane Center, in anticipation of it becoming a hurricane.
"At 900 AM GMT , the center of Tropical Storm Margot was located near latitude 25.3 North, longitude 40.0 West. Margot is moving toward the north near 8 mph , and this general motion is expected to continue during the next several days," the advisory said. The location puts it hundreds of miles off the U.S. coast.

Tropical Storm Margot was due to be upgraded to a hurricane on Monday.The storm's winds are peaking at around 65 mph, and affect a radius of about 90 miles around the center, and models show it strengthening as it moves northwards over the next few days. "There are a few main environmental factors that influence how powerful a storm can get. The most popular factor is the temperature of the ocean water beneath the storm," Sam Lillo, a forecast engineer at DTN Weather,"Wind blowing over water causes an exchange of moisture into the atmosphere, encouraging the growth of deep clouds and heating that intensifies low pressure at the surface, ultimately strengthening the winds and furthering this feedback loop.
