Tropical Storm Gordon likely to form today
Tropical depression number 7 has developed about in the Atlantic east-northeast of the Leeward Islands and could become Tropical Storm Gordon today.
Northerly shear caused by the outflow of Hurricane Florence is shifting to the west and away from this depression, so strengthening is likely over the next couple of days, the National Hurricane Center says.
The NHC forecast calls for only slow development of the storm, although one computer model predicts it will gain hurricane strength within the next 48 hours.
