On 31 August (Thursday), two storms had rolled off of Africa. The leftmost of these two is now expected to become hurricane Florence on Friday, 8 September as it travels north of Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. Its projected curve appears to roll up the American east coast but well out to sea.
Meanwhile, over in the eastern Pacific, the 11th tropical storm formed while the 10th one at one point became a category 3 hurricane (John). Pacific Ocean is taking our hurricanes this year. Many head for San Diego but never get there. Boring hurricane season.
