Hurricane experts are warning of two more possible tropical storms heading toward the United States, just days after Hurricane Milton devastated Florida, leaving more than a dozen dead.
Hurricane season is already underway and, with more than a month to go, the National Hurricane Center It has already begun monitoring two possible storms heading toward the United States.
The NHC has flagged a tropical disturbance in the eastern Atlantic Ocean as a possible tropical depression.
Currently, the disturbance, which the NHC has named Invest 94L, is located just west of the Cape Verde Islands.
Fox Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross said, “The disturbance could arrive as anything from a developing tropical disturbance to Tropical Storm Nadine, or a disorderly surge of tropical moisture.”
If Invest 94L becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Tropical Storm Nadine, which is next on the list after Milton.
While the storm became more organized this morning, officials still believe it lacks enough organization of storm activity to be considered a tropical depression, the NHC said.
Further development is not expected until at least mid-week, but close monitoring remains after Hurricane Milton went from a category one to a category five storm in less than 24 hours.
If Invest 94L becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Tropical Storm Nadine, which is next on the list after Milton.
Weather in Fox Hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross said: ‘(It will remain) on a westward track that could take it near the northeastern Caribbean islands in about a week. The disturbance could arrive as anything from a developing tropical disturbance to Tropical Storm Nadine to a disorderly surge of tropical moisture.
While the storm became more organized this morning, officials still believe it lacks enough organization of storm activity to be considered a tropical depression, the NHC said.
President Joe Biden sent 1,000 active-duty troops to North Carolina to assist in the response to Hurricane Helene.
One of the deadliest hurricanes to hit the United States, Hurricane Helene killed more than 200 people.
Storm Nadine is expected to be short-lived and is believed to have a 50 percent chance of forming.
Tropical Storm Leslie was also flagged by the NHC, but is not expected to make landfall in the United States.
The storm was in the mid-Atlantic, packing winds of 50 mph and moving at 10 mph toward the northeast, but since the NHC advisory these winds have decreased.
The storm is about 1,400 miles away and moving in the opposite direction, according to the Mirror.
Meteorologists at NOAA’s National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center issued a warning in May that the hurricane season was going to be “above normal.”
NOAA has forecast a total of 17 to 25 named storms, meaning they will have winds of 60 km/h or more.
Hurricane Milton was labeled “dangerous” and “catastrophic” after it reached sustained winds of 160 miles per hour when it made landfall Wednesday night.

Of the eight to thirteen named storms predicted to become hurricanes, four to seven major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher with winds of 111 mph or greater) are expected to develop.
