Tropical Storm Gordon Forms in Atlantic, No Immediate Land Threat

The storm is expected to strengthen slightly before weakening, with its path keeping it over open waters for now.

Tropical Storm Gordon is the seventh named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, forming from a tropical depression on Friday morning.
As of the latest advisory, Gordon is located about 990 miles west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands and moving west-northwest at 12 mph.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph, with slight strengthening expected today before a weakening trend begins on Saturday.
The National Hurricane Center forecasts Gordon to remain over open waters for the next few days, with no immediate threat to land.
Two other systems are being monitored for potential development: one near the Leeward Islands and another off the southeastern U.S. coast.
