The tropical storm is anticipated to turn toward the northeast at a faster rate during the next two days.
Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Martin is expected to become a hurricane by Wednesday night before transitioning to a powerful extratropical system on Thursday.
This comes a day after Tropical Storm Lisa formed in the Caribbean Sea.
