Three More Tropical Storms

Posted on September 7, 2005

Three more tropical storms have formed in this very active hurricane season. The three storms are Maria, Nate and Ophelia. More information about them can be found on the National Hurricane Center's website. Maria and Nate are forecast to move away from the United States and out to sea. Ophelia's forecast is much less certain. The five-day forecast has it staying off the Florida coast but not moving very far during that time period. The NHC also says it could make landfall on the Florida coast sometime during the next five days. They are much less certain about the forecast of Ophelia than they were with Katrina. Tropical Storm Ophelia is forecast to become a hurricane.
