Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine:

A new tropical disturbance is gaining attention, originating from a tropical wave that brought showers to the region. While not yet a tropical storm, it has been designated as a potential tropical cyclone. Coastal Texas is already under tropical storm warnings and watches as the system could impact the area. Hurricane hunters are monitoring its progress, with the possibility of it becoming a low-grade tropical storm upon landfall. Florida is not expected to be affected.

Tropical Storm Franklin:

This storm is currently in the Caribbean and is bringing heavy rains to the region. With top winds at 50 mph, it is moving west but expected to turn north, affecting parts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It could potentially intensify into a hurricane after passing these islands.

Tropical Storm Gert:

Despite its name, this storm is facing wind shear that will likely cause it to weaken and lose its tropical storm status soon.

Tropical Storm Emily:

Formerly named Emily, this system has lost its tropical characteristics and is no longer a concern, as confirmed by the National Hurricane Center.

New System Name:

A new system could be named Harold, but its development is uncertain.
