Are there any potential hurricanes forming?

Asked 7 hours ago

Answer

Tropical Storm Fernand is active east of Bermuda but is not expected to reach hurricane strength. Invest 99L in the Atlantic has a 40% chance of development as it moves into the Caribbean. Forecasters are also watching for possible development in the Caribbean and Gulf as atmospheric patterns shift in early September, with some potential for homegrown storms near Florida and the Carolinas.
