Tropical Storms Cindy and Bret bring heavy rain to Atlantic region.
Tropical Storm Cindy has formed in the central Atlantic, becoming the second tropical cyclone to form east of the Lesser Antilles in the tropical Atlantic during June. The storm is moving west-northwest and is expected to remain east of the northern Leeward Islands through the weekend before passing north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico early next week. The warm waters in the eastern Atlantic have caused unprecedented early tropical cyclone formation this year, with the Atlantic off to a very fast start for the 2023 hurricane season.
