There are two current active storm fronts, one in the Atlantic, and one in the Pacific. Tropical Storm Fred is forming in the eastern Atlantic and has plenty of time to form into Hurricane Fred as he moves along his projected path.Tropical Storm Linda, on the other hand, is forming off the Baja and seems to be pulling some strength from the remnants of HURRICANE JIMENA. At first glance, TROPICAL STORM LINDA looks quite small, however a simple glance to the North East shows a long tail which stretches towards land. Once this is pulled into the vortex of Tropical Storm Linda, she should become a strong force to be reckoned with
