The Tropics Are Getting Active...





There is a tropical system in the Northern Atlantic Ocean right now. Tropical Storm Franklin is moving to the East, Northeast at 22 mph.



Franklin is only packing winds of 40 mph and the National Hurricane Center expects Franklin to lose it's Tropical Storm status by Sunday afternoon.


However, there are three other areas in the Atlantic that the National Hurricane Center is watching for potential development right now. Those areas are shaded in red, orange, and yellow.


The red is area is where conditions are most favorable for a tropical system to develop (90% likely). This disturbance could be classified as a tropical storm or a hurricane in the next 48 hours and could cause problems for Bermuda. Right now it is moving to the West, Northwest at 10-15 mph.
