Three potential tropical storms develop in the Atlantic
The National Hurricane Center is tracking three potential tropical storm systems in the Atlantic. The system in the southwestern Caribbean has the highest chance of development, with a 30 percent likelihood in the next two days and 70 percent in the next week. The other two systems, one in the northeastern Caribbean and one in the north Atlantic, each have a 10 percent chance of strengthening. The southwestern Caribbean system could form into Tropical Storm Patty by this weekend, while the other systems are expected to have limited development. If all three systems develop, they would be named Patty, Rafael, and Sara. The Atlantic hurricane season continues until November 30.
