However, forecasts are still subject to change, as there are still a few days left until Florence approaches the US.

In addition to Florence, two more storms formed in the ocean that have the potential to become tropical cyclones or hurricanes.

One of them is concentrated a few hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands and has an 90% chance to turn into a tropical cyclone over the next 5 days.

Another storm moves off the west coast of Africa and has an 30% chance to develop into a tropical cyclone over the next 5 days.
