"Hurricane Nigel Strengthens in Atlantic, Forecasted as Major Storm"
Hurricane Nigel, the fifth hurricane of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, is forecast to strengthen and reach near major hurricane status before curving out to sea, away from the U.S. coast. The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring two other developing systems in the Atlantic, including one near the Southeast U.S. coastline that could bring heavy rains and coastal flooding. Additionally, a tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa and has the potential to develop into a tropical depression while moving westward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
