This is the time of the season where tropical activity in the Atlantic begins to increase. Saharan dust and other detrimental factors for tropical development begin to go away and thunderstorm activity over the tropics tends to increase. Even though we have been on a record setting pace in terms of named storms this season, most of the storms have been weak and short-lived. The Atlantic has be full of dusty, dry air for most of the season to date and hasnt been able to sustain tropical development. Two new tropical waves have been highlighted by the National Hurricane Center for possible development over the next five days.

MIAMI Tropical Storm Josephine weakened early Sunday and the system named Kyle became a post-tropical cyclone, forecasters said. Kyle was far off the East Coast of the continental U.S. centered about 545 miles (880 kilometers) southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada. It's been an active Atlantic hurricane season and forecasters predict several more named storms are on the way. Before Kyle, the earliest K-named storm was Katrina, which formed Aug. 24, 2005, according to Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach. Last month, Hurricane Hanna slammed the Texas Gulf Coast with high winds and rains that flooded streets and knocked out power across the region.

ORLANDO, Fla.- If you blinked, you missed the naming of Tropical Storm Kyle Friday. Kyle continued the record-breaking pace for storm formation becoming the earliest K storm on record. Through the K storm in 2005 there were already 4 hurricanes with 3 of those being major. Kyle is moving away from the U.S. and will weaken quicklyKyle is moving away from the U.S, and is expected to weaken quickly over the cooler waters of the North Atlantic. Josephine poses no threat to the U.S.Dry air continues to dominate the Atlantic for now, but the basin could become more favorable in the next 7-14 days.

Storms will finally have a good chance to make it to the coast later Friday afternoon and evening. Inland areas have no doubt picked up the most rain over the last week or so, but with the west coast sea breeze becoming dominant, storms will move from west to east. Storms begin to develop along the 75 corridor around 1 p.m. and push east. A few stray storms will be possible elsewhere ahead of the main cluster of storms. There will be a better chance for storms for a change along the coast, especially later in the day.

ORLANDO, Fla. A tropical depression headed on a projected path north of Puerto Rico is still expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Josephine, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system has sustained winds of 35 mph. A tropical storm requires sustained winds of 39 mph. Computer models show the system trekking north of Puerto Rico early Monday as a tropical storm before weakening. Most of the rain chances come in after 2 p.m., with a 60% coverage, News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.

ORLANDO, Fla. A system swirling in the tropics is expected to become the next named storm of the 2020 hurricane season. Tropical Depression 11 will soon become Tropical Storm Josephine, News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said Wednesday morning. Currently, TD 11 has maximum sustained winds of 35 mph as it moves west at 14 mph, about 1,405 miles east-southeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. It takes 39 mph winds or greater to become a tropical storm, Bridges said. The very latest track takes it north of the Lesser Antilles and north of Puerto Rico as a tropical storm by the end of the week.
