tropical storm

It's been a pretty active hurricane season already. And now the 10th named storm of 2017 could be headed to the Northeast.

Hurricane Joaquin has formed in the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda and the Bahamas. As of Wednesday September 30, the track of the storm remains undefined but could bring substantial rain to portions of New York State this weekend.

The 2013 season's first tropical system to make landfall on the United States will be Tropical Storm Karen which is forecast to make a glancing blow at Louisiana before coming ashore somewhere along the Alabama or Mississippi coast.  Will the storm have any impact on New York State?

At 8 a.m. EST Thursday, the National Hurricane Center issued hurricane and tropical storm watches for the northern Gulf Coast, as tropical storm Karen gains strength in the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico.

The signs were there late last week for the formation of the Atlantic's first tropical system of the 2013 Hurricane Season. Wendesday night, Tropical Storm Andrea formed.

Tropical Storm Debby may not be an actual hurricane, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t wreaking plenty of havoc – she’s already drenched Northern Florida in rain and spun off isolated tornadoes with at least one casualty.
