HOUSTON – Now that Tropical Storm Gordon is inland, we turn our attention to a train of tropical waves and storms that are moving west from Africa across the Atlantic Ocean.
Hurricane Florence is a Category 3 hurricane in the central Atlantic that is projected to move west-northwest over the next few days and may be an issue for some of the Eastern U.S. coast late week.
Behind Florence, two additional tropical waves are forecast to strengthen as they move off the coast of Africa by next week. While it is too early to identify their track, if they do become tropical systems, they will be named Helene, Isaac and Joyce.
The peak of hurricane season is Sept. 10, so we are expecting to see more activity over the next few weeks in the Atlantic Basin.
As always, the KPRC2 Severe Weather Team is tracking each new development as they come to make sure you and your family are safe. Now is the time to put your hurricane preparedness plan in place.
#Gordon is gone but the Atlantic tropical train is heating up! We may be tracking multiple storms (in one form or another) next week. Nothing to fret about now, but remember, we#39;re approaching the peak of #hurricane season! @KPRC2 https://t.co/3E234COB5w pic.twitter.com/OvqM0Vyv53
