New Tropical Storm Forming in Atlantic

Meteorologists are watching an area in the Atlantic Ocean that is over 600 miles East of the Lesser Antilles.

It continues to get better organized with a 100 percent chance of it becoming a tropical storm.

Long-range models show this system intensifying into a major hurricane and bring it within a few hundred miles of the state of Florida in about eight days, maybe sooner.

If it does develop, it would become Emily, the fifth named storm of the season.
