Tropical Storm Harvey Forms; Warnings for Windward Islands
Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic’s eighth named storm of 2017, Tropical Storm Harvey, is en route to the Caribbean. Air Force Hurricane Hunters found that Harvey had gained a closed low-level circulation, with peak winds of around 40 mph, so the former Potential Tropical Cyclone 9 was upgraded to TS Harvey by the NOAA/NWS National Hurricane Center in its 5:00 pm EDT Thursday, [August 17] advisory. During the years 1966-2009, the average arrival date of the eighth storm of the Atlantic season was September 24—more than a month later than this year’s formation of Harvey—so 2017 is considerably more active than usual.
