Hurricane Ernesto, now a Category 1 storm, poses a threat to the East Coast with dangerous surf and rip currents. The storm, which previously caused significant damage in Puerto Rico and Bermuda, is expected to make landfall in Newfoundland on Monday.
Post-Tropical Cyclone Debby is causing significant rainfall and flooding across the Mid-Atlantic states and Upstate New York. Meanwhile, a new tropical wave is forming in the Atlantic, which could develop into a tropical depression by next week and potentially impact the Caribbean.
Hurricane Beryl, the first hurricane of the season, has already made landfall in the Caribbean, and experts are predicting an extraordinary hurricane season with a record number of storms, including potentially powerful category 3 or higher hurricanes. The NOAA attributes this to warm ocean temperatures and other factors, highlighting the impact of climate change on hurricane intensity.
