Tropical Storm Julia Forms in Atlantic

Igor Expected to Become a Hurricane 

UPDATE:   This storm did strengthen into named Tropical Storm Karl and later Hurricane Karl

Tropical Storm Karl Heading Toward Yucatan

Meanwhile ... there appears to be another potential storm forming in the Northwest Caribbean Sea.  This is shown in the graphic from the NHC above as #1.   There is a medium chance that this depression will form into a tropical cyclone in the near future.


While there are no land advisories for the two hurricanes at the present time, this yet unnamed storm has the potential of producing heavy rains in the Caribbean.   No cruise ship advisories have been released at this time, but this latest storm has the potential of altering schedules should it intensify.
