Three Named storms have formed in the Atlantic and are all encountering unfavorable conditions to develop rapidly. The only storm that will be affecting land is Franklin – and it will be moving northerly across Hispaniola August 22 and 23 before it starts moving Northeast into the north Atlantic.
We are also watching a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico that may become a named storm before landfall near the Texas/Mexico border into August 22 and 23. Persons along the western Gulf of Mexico should be monitoring the progress of this disturbance.
