Even though the Atlantic has been unusually quiet for the last month, overnight they lurched back to life with the development of Subtropical Storm Wanda way out in the Atlantic. Wanda is predicted to gradually gain tropical characteristics over the next day or two and may become a tropical storm at that point before moving off to the northeast and dissipating. There is another area of potential development in the eastern Atlantic Ocean but the chances are only 30 percent over the next five days, so it should not be of concern to us in the Southeast.
