Forecasters Caution Two New Atlantic Storms Could Potentially Disrupt Travel

Hurricane Helene hasn’t even disbanded fully
yet but already weather forecasters are tracking two more storms that
are forming in the Atlantic.

Isaac has already become a hurricane while Joyce remains a tropical storm.

Helene impacted several airports in the
southern United States, including
the world’s busiest in Atlanta.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports
that Hurricane Isaac is now a Category 2. However, significant
impacts are not anticipated. But a hurricane is nonetheless a hurricane and as
we saw with Helene it can be deadly with high winds and rains that all cause
flooding.

Joyce bears watching and could affect the
Caribbean.

“Environmental conditions are expected to
be conducive for additional development thereafter while the system moves
generally northwestward, and a tropical depression could form by the middle of
next week as the system enters the Gulf of Mexico,” the NHC said.
