Tropical Storm Tammy forms east of the Lesser Antilles

Tropical Storm Tammy has formed in the tropical Atlantic, just east of the Lesser Antillies.

Now the nineteenth storm of the season, Tammy will continue to head west. 

Its should strengthen as it gets closer to the Lesser Antilles, and some of the islands could deal with heavy rainfall, flooding and gusty winds as early as Friday.

It’s still too early to tell exactly where this storm will go, but forecast models suggest it’ll curve north into the open Atlantic after brushing the northeastern Caribbean.
