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.

The12th tropical storm of the season has formed in the Atlantic.

As of 5 a.m. ET Tuesday, Tropical Storm Lisa was about 530 miles west-northwest of the Cape Verde Islands, according to the National Hurricane Center. Lisa was headed north at 5 mph and carried maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.

Lisa is expected to strengthen in the next few days, but the storm is not projected to reach any major landmass over the next several days.
