It is worth noting the storm may be called a sub-tropical cyclone once it develops, as it may be a hybrid system with some tropical characteristics. 

The threat area ranges from the Leeward Islands to Puerto Rico and Hispanola, and stretching to the southeastern Bahamas.

At this point, it looks as the a front will block it from affecting South Florida, but it bears watching.
