Tropical Storm Ernesto forms in Atlantic | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Update

Gulf of Mexico remains quiet but things are heating up in the Atlantic. We now have our 5th named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Ernesto. It is forecast to move over Puerto Rico as a tropical storm early Wednesday & become a hurricane by early Thursday. The good news for the US is that it will make a sharp turn to the NW & then north, keeping it away from the Gulf of Mexico and US east coast. It is expected to get closer to Bermuda late week as a category 2 hurricane.
