Tropical Storm Paulette formed Monday in the Atlantic and Rene will form soon, says the National Hurricane Center, continuing the extremely active 2020 hurricane season
Both storms will break records by forming Monday. Paulette is now the earliest 16th Atlantic named storm, forming earlier than the previous record-holder, Philippe, which developed on Sept. 17, 2005. Rita is the record holder for the earliest 17th named storm. It formed on Sept. 18, 2005. Rene will break that record Monday once it forms. "Tropical Depression Eighteen is very near tropical storm strength," says the NHC.
After it moves away from Cape Verde, it will continue its strengthening trend and likely reach hurricane status by Thursday.Paulette is west of the Cape Verde Islands and nowhere near land. This storm has sustained winds of 40 mph. It is likely to have some gradual strengthening. But at this time, it isn't forecast to become a hurricane. Both Rene and Paulette are forecast to remain out over the Atlantic this week.
