Storm Chasers

I personally can't wait until October 18th.

Hurricane Fred

Tropical Storm Fred formed yesterday south-west of the Cape Verde Islands. It will be turning north, and although it could reach hurricane strength by tomorrow, it is not expected to impact any land masses.

Update September 9th, 2009 3:15AM

Fred became a hurricane last night.

Update September 10th, 2009 2:15PM

Fred briefly became a major hurricane yesterday and is now back down to a category two. It now holds the record for being the strongest hurricane in that part of the Atlantic. The current track path will eventually take it west, but by that time it is expected to be a tropical depression.

Tropical Storm Erika

Tropical Storm Erika seems to be on a path that will allow it to brush the northern Leeward Islands in the Antilles. Tropical Storm Watches have been issued for some of these islands.

Update September 5th, 2009 10:00AM

Erika weakened to a tropical depression last Thursday. Sorry for the late updates. Lots of things going on.
