Depression strengthens into Tropical Storm Lisa over eastern Atlantic

Meanwhile, Julia is still spinning near North Carolina and is expected to make landfall by this afternoon. With that, the Cape Fear Region can expect clouds and a few pop-up showers but probably not as many heavy cells as Monday. So we have a couple of significant considerations while tracking & forecasting “Karl”.

Lisa is moving northwest around 12 miles per hour and this general motion is expected to continue through Thursday.

As per the meteorologists, the Tropical Depression is expected to slowly gain strength and become a tropical storm.

“Fish storms” refer to tropical storms and hurricanes spending their lifespans over the ocean and avoid impacting land.

Fall begins on Thursday but there is no sign of our first cold front.

Additionally, a deteriorating trend in sea condition is expected from tomorrow. Any slow-moving cells will have the chance to produce locally torrential rainfall and poor-drainage flooding. We’re still expecting highs in the lower 90s with lows around 70. Temperatures will be in the mid 80s quickly falling into the upper 70s.

Update 11 a.m.: Tropical Storm Lisa has formed in the far off Atlantic.

Still, it’s notable in that if Lisa forms, it will mark the busiest season since 2013, when the season had 13 named storms. The Hurricane Center said Karl was centered late Tuesday about 480 miles (770 kilometers) northeast of the Leeward Islands and 1,030 miles (1,660 kilometers) southeast of Bermuda.

Mr Baron stated that the Ministry of National Security is “closely monitoring the forecast track of the storm”.
