Tropical Storm Tammy has formed in the Atlantic and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane over the weekend. The storm, which is the 20th named storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, is currently moving quickly westward and is forecast to approach the Lesser Antilles. However, it is expected to stay far from the U.S. coastline. Tammy is following a typical track for this time of year, often steered east of the U.S. by cold fronts. The Leeward Islands may experience tropical storm conditions. This year marks only the fourth time on record that there have been 20 or more named storms by October 18th.
