While maintaining a pace of 13 mph (20 kph) toward the northeast, the storm was projected to maintain its course over the open waters. For Bermuda, a tropical storm warning remained in effect, as meteorologists cautioned about the perilous prospect of life-threatening swells and treacherous rip currents that could ensue both on the island itself and along the U.S. East Coast. Notably, a number of flights destined for Bermuda were cancelled on the same Wednesday.
