Atlantic front forming into tropical storm headed toward U.S. Virgin Islands

Even as parts of the East Coast are still recovering from destruction wrought by the remnants of Hurricane Debby, the next Atlantic front is developing into a potential tropical storm.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Five was taking shape 875 miles east-southeast of Antigua and was headed west-northwest at 23 mph, with multiple Caribbean islands, including the U.S. Virgin Islands, in its potential sights, according to the National Hurricane Center’s latest “probable path” forecast.
