The hurricane season is heating up, with three named storms moving across the Atlantic.

For Gulf Coast residents, only Gaston bears watching. Gaston rolled off Africa and quickly went from a depression to a tropical storm on Wednesday. The storm is far from land, and its future path remains highly uncertain. Gaston weakened to a tropical depression on Thursday.

Meanwhile, powerful Hurricane Earl is moving toward North Carolina and causing worry up the entire Eastern Seaboard. Tropical Storm Fiona is not far behind early, but it is headed into hostile conditions likely to cause weakening before the storm is swept out to sea.

Back over Africa, yet another strong tropical wave will move off the coast with some potential for development.

The latest information on each storm can be found in the graphics on this page.

    I hate to say……but this reminds me of the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons. Pray that it is so. I for one had enough of Ivan and Dennis.
