Tropical storm Bret could reach the Lesser Antilles islands in the Caribbean Sea by late Thursday as a rare June hurricane
In an average year, the first hurricane typically doesn’t form until early to mid-August, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm currently carries winds of 40 mph and is moving quickly to the west at 17 mph. It is expected to reach hurricane strength Wednesday.
How to prepare for the hurricane “Low shear and abnormally warm ocean waters” are providing Bret with the conditions conducive to strengthening over the next few days, the center said. Atlantic water temperatures are off the charts right now, setting records for the month of May. The temperatures are more typical of what we would see much later in the summer, which is one ingredient helping to fuel Bret. Once Bret crosses over the Lesser Antilles, the storm is forecast to weaken again.
