The National Hurricane Center on Thursday began tracking a new potential tropical system targeting Florida, one of two systems with the potential to form into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Hurricane Humberto reached winds of 75 mph Friday morning, officially designating it as a Category 1 hurricane. In addition, forecasters are closely monitoring the development of Invest 94L in the Atlantic as they say there’s not only a high chance it will become a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Imelda in the coming days,

Two storms have developed in the Atlantic Ocean this week but it is actually the less powerful one that is likely to have the bigger effect on weather in the U.S.

It may seem like meteorologists use these terms interchangeably, but is there actually a difference between them? And should you worry about one more than another? That may be a trick question: All of those storms are serious,

Forecasters are monitoring Hurricane Imelda, now a Category 1 hurricane, as it moves away from Bermuda, according to the National Hurricane Center. According to an early morning advisory on Thursday, Oct. 2 , from the NHC, the hurricane is located about 170 miles east-northeast of Bermuda.

As climate change leads to more destructive hurricanes, some experts have proposed adding a “Category 6” to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, but not everyone thinks it’s a good idea.

Hurricane Humberto has strengthened to Category 4 but remains “far out to sea,” while the unnamed TS9 might make a move as far north as North Carolina.

Forecasts predict wild temperature swings in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley this week, ranging from lows in the 30s to highs near 80.

Imelda is now what's called a post tropical cyclone, meaning it's no longer a tropical system that's getting its energy from the heat of the ocean. What was once Imelda is still a potent system that has now merged with another ordinary storm, producing a large rain sheild and winds that are strong as a category 1 hurricane.

Wilmington-area residents need to stay alert and be prepared as tropical weather conditions could reach the area early next week.

Tropical Storm Paolo (Matmo) is already 370 kilometers east of Baler, Aurora, as of early Thursday evening, October 2
