Tropical Storm Joaquin, the tenth named storm of the 2015 Atlantic Hurricane Season, formed this weekend in the Atlantic, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Monday.

The NHC in Miami said that Joaquin was centered 400 miles northeast of the central Bahamas late Monday, with sustained winds of 40 miles per hour, according to Reuters.

Maryland-based weather forecasters believe that the storm may allow additional moisture to stream into Maryland later in the week and into the weekend. If this comes to pass, the state will experience flash flooding, river flooding, coastal flooding, gusty winds, high surf and beach erosion.

In other regions however, no coastal watches or warnings have been issued, but the NHC did mention that the storm is expected to strengthen during the next couple days, leaving other areas at risk, according to Fox News.

Joaquin is moving toward the southwest at about 5 miles per hour, but will soon make its way north by Friday.

The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration has posted an interactive map, where users can see a view of the hurricane's course as well as areas it may effect. The NOAA notes while looking at the map, that any singular point along the storm's coast doesn't represent its area of effect, as the storms effects can span many hundreds of miles from the center.
