The small swirl of clouds we've been tracking in the deep tropics could become the first named storm of the season.
This is the second tropical depression to form this hurricane season, the first being a small storm off the east coast in late May. That storm was not given a name because it never fully developed into a tropical storm with closed circulation and winds 39 mph or stronger.This official forecast from the National Hurricane Center indicates TD#2 could strengthen into a tropical storm named Ana within 24 hours. None of the computer models suggest this storm will develop into a hurricane.
The long-range models are still showing another potential storm developing later this week, that could become a powerful tropical cyclone. Of course, the exact track is highly uncertain; this storm hasn't even developed yet. But the Global Forecast System model depicts a storm developing in the far eastern Atlantic within 48 hours and moving into the Caribbean Sea, toward the Gulf of Mexico by the end of next week.
