Forecasters are watching three Atlantic systems. A tropical storm may form soon
The National Hurricane Center is now tracking three systems in the Atlantic Ocean: one possibly headed for the Caribbean and United States, another heading away from the U.S. East Coast and the last is sitting off the U.S. Southeast Coast. Disturbance No. 1 by North Carolina The Sunday 2 p.m. National Hurricane Center update says this 'non-tropical area of low pressure' a few hundred miles off North Carolina's coast is dropping showers and thunderstorms. 'Environmental conditions are conducive for this system to acquire additional tropical characteristics, and a tropical storm is likely to form by Monday well east of the North Carolina coast,' the hurricane center said. The formation chance by Tuesday afternoon and over the next seven days is put at 70%, a large increase from 50% earlier in the day. The next name on the list is Dexter. Disturbance No. 2 in the Atlantic Ocean 'A tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa by late Monday,' the hurricane center said Sunday afternoon. 'Thereafter, some gradual development of the wave is possible, and a tropical depression could form late this week while it moves generally west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.' There is a near-zero percent chance of formation in the next two days, but up to 40% for the next seven days. Disturbance No. 3 off the Southeast U.S. 'An area of low pressure could form in a couple of days, a few hundred miles southeast of the Carolinas,' forecasters said. 'Some gradual development of this system is possible by midweek as the system drifts to the northwest.' It has a near-zero chance of forming in the next two days and a 20% chance in the next seven.

Storm Floris: Scots urged to stay indoors to avoid 85mph winds
Scots are being urged to stay indoors as Storm Floris approaches. Much of Scotland will be battered by heavy rain and winds of up to 85mph, the Met Office warned as it upgraded warnings to amber. The forecaster said injuries and danger to life are expected from large waves hitting seafronts, coastal roads and properties. Some trains and ferry services have already been cancelled with more likely to be impacted, including air and road transport. The warning for 'unseasonably' strong winds will come into force at 10am on Monday for 12 hours across most of the central belt and north of the country. A yellow warning for other parts of Scotland will be in place from 6am until midnight. Western coastal areas are expected to bear the brunt of the storm, although strong winds and rain will likely lead to disruption at Edinburgh's festivals. On Sunday night, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo said it had cancelled its Monday show due to the storm. Network Rail said several lines will be closed from 12pm on Monday, with all other routes experiencing a reduced timetable and longer journey times. Edinburgh – Fife/Perth/Dundee, Perth – Dundee/Aberdeen/Inverness and the West Highland Line are among the routes that will close at noon. Ferry operator CalMac has also issued a series of cancellations ahead of the storm. LNER has warned passengers not to travel north of Newcastle while Avanti West Coast has advised passengers not to travel north of Preston, as it warned it will be 'heavily impacted' by the weather. Forecasters have warned people who are outdoors to avoid walking or seeking shelter near buildings or trees, said said that loose items including bins and garden furniture could blow away unless secured. Scottish Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop said a meeting had been held on Friday to ensure the country is ready for the storm, adding: 'Given the unusual timing, and the fact some people will be on holiday, travelling or perhaps unaware, we are trying to raise even more awareness than usual of this potentially disruptive storm. 'Please check with operators as we do expect rail, ferries, roads and bridges to be disrupted on Monday across the country. 'This is a slightly unusual situation for August, however the message is the same as winter – plan ahead, check your journey in advance, allow extra time, and don't take any unnecessary risks.' Those driving in poor weather have been urged to avoid the worst-hit areas and slow down when on the roads while allowing time for delays. The Met Office said there was the potential for power cuts in some areas as well as disruption to mobile phone coverage. The warning zone covers Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland, north Wales and the north of England. Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of the 2024-25 naming season, which runs from early September to late August. January's Storm Eowyn was the most recent.

Weather warnings come into force with severe travel disruption expected
Weather warnings are coming into force with Storm Floris expected to cause severe travel disruption. A yellow warning for wind has been issued for northern parts of the UK from 6am on Monday to 6am on Tuesday. The warnings have been upgraded to amber for much of Scotland, lasting from 10am to 10pm. Train operator LNER has told passengers not to travel north of Newcastle while Avanti West Coast has advised passengers not to travel north of Preston, warning it will be 'heavily impacted' by the weather. The storm could also disrupt road, air and ferry services, and close bridges. Much of Scotland will be battered by heavy rain and winds of up to 85mph, the Met Office said. Some trains and ferry services have already been cancelled with more likely to be affected. Western coastal areas are expected to bear the brunt of the storm although strong winds and rain will likely lead to disruption at Edinburgh's festivals. Network Rail said several lines will be closed from 12pm on Monday, with all other routes experiencing a reduced timetable and longer journey times. Edinburgh – Fife/Perth/Dundee, Perth – Dundee/Aberdeen/Inverness and the West Highland Line are among the routes that will close at noon. Ferry operator CalMac has also issued a series of cancellations ahead of the storm. Met Office chief meteorologist Matthew Lehnert said: 'Across the warning area, many inland areas are likely to see gusts of 40-50mph, with 60-70mph more likely at higher elevations and around exposed coasts in Scotland. 'There is a small chance that some locations here could even record gusts of 85mph.' The strongest winds will most likely affect Scotland on Monday afternoon and night but 'there remains some uncertainty in the depth and track of Floris', a spokesperson added. 'Winds will first ease in the west during later Monday but remaining very strong overnight until early Tuesday in the east. 'Heavy rain may also contribute to the disruption in places.' The warning zone covers Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland, north Wales and the north of England. Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of the 2024-25 naming season, which runs from early September to late August. January's Storm Eowyn was the most recent.
