Hurricane Forecast
There are now two areas that will likely become named storms this week (red-shaded regions) and one other that is very likely to become a storm (orange-shaded region). None of these storms appear to be a direct threat to the US, though the red-shaded region closest to the US could impact Bermuda. The islands of Bermud can be seen as that little dot to the north of the end of that system’s forecast track. They may be small but they sure do seem to be a target of tropical systems each year!
