According to the U.S. National Hurricane Center, tropical storm Bonnie is South of the Bahama's and is heading toward the southern tip of Florida - straight to BP's (NYSE:BP) oil infested waters.
It is on track to hit the Florida Keys tomorrow at 6:15pm at 40 miles per hour. The storm is expected to gain strength as it hits.
The storm is being watched carefully by forecasters to see what it will do as it enters the Gulf and if its on track to hit directly over the BP oil spill site. Jeff Masters, co-founder of weather underground, said that tropical storm winds hitting 50 MPH would force oil into the Louisiana marshes as well as into Lake Pontchartrain.
Travis Hartman, energy manager and meteorologist said, "Oil production in the central to western Gulf should monitor this system for possible increases in intensity, but most rigs can withstand tropical storm force winds fairly well."
