Tracking 2 tropical storms in the Atlantic

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two tropical storms are currently in the Atlantic. 

Tropical Storm Peter continues to maintain its status as a tropical storm. Peter is stronger as of 11 p.m. Sunday with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and gusts of 65 mph. Peter is located about 300 miles east of the Leeward Islands racing west-northwest at 14 mph. Rain and coastal impacts from Peter are expected for parts of the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico. 

Peter is forecast to make a turn to the north by Wednesday, which will steer it away from the U.S. coast. In addition, Peter’s strength is not expected to change in the near future, but some weakening is on track by midweek. The approaching cold front that’ll bring rain to our region this week will help steer Peter away from the southeast coast. 

The second tropical storm in the Atlantic basin is Rose. It’s moving more towards the north-northwest  at 16 mph. The forecast track shows Rose maintaining its tropical storm status through Wednesday, but it’ll likely weaken in the central Atlantic without any impacts to land. 

A area of clouds and storms remain disorganized, but may gradual develop into a tropical depression over the next wave. The area to watch is just off the coast of Africa. We’ll continue to monitor and keep you updated on its development. 

The next name on the 2021 Atlantic hurricane list is Sam. Hurricane season ends November 30th for the Atlantic basin.
