There are currently two named storms (Paulette and Rene) in the Atlantic, with another storm likely developing by the end of the week or weekend. The percentage is for the chance it has to develop into a tropical system, not whether it will impact land. The Atlantic is currently being influenced by two areas of high pressure, one in the Eastern Atlantic, the other near the U.S.A trough of low pressure is in the middle helping to create the two split areas of high pressure. Paulette will be caught between the two high pressure systems and, therefore, will be moving slowly. Next week, there is a chance that we could have four named systems active at the same time in the Atlantic.

With two tropical storms (Paulette and Rene) and two tropical waves, everyone wants to know if Florida could be impacted by any of these systems. The hurricane center is giving the area a 40% chance of development over the next five days. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Paulette will not impact the United States and will eventually curve away due to a big area of high pressure near Bermuda. Here is the 5 a.m. advisory and forecast track for #Paulette from the National Hurricane Center. The hurricane center says it has a 60% chance to develop tropical characteristics over the next five days.
