3 Storms at once
3 tropical storms at one time is really too much to handle - and as I write this, there appears to be a large wave coming off the coast of Africa yet again. First the good news for the Caribbean - Earl is gone from the region, and Fiona is quickly pulling away.
The bad news is newly formed Gaston. Sometimes with this much activity there isn't a lot of fuel left for storms that come behind others on the same track, but the NHC is talking about this reaching hurricane status even though there is a lot of dry air around.
It is a little early for the tracking but at this point it appears to be heading toward the northern Leeward Islands. The best hope is that the ridge that steered Fiona north is still in place by the time Gaston gets close and it follows the same path. But it needs to be watched closely for now.
