In the tropics, Tropical Depression # 17 is now Tropical Storm Paulette and Tropical Depression # 18 is now Tropical Storm Rene.  First, Paulette:  at 5 am Tuesday, it was located near 18.1 North, 42.1 West, about halfway between the Cape Verde Islands and the northern Leeward Islands.  Maximum sustained winds were 50 miles per hour, and Paulette was moving northwest at 6 miles per hour.  Tropical Storm Rene is moving through the Cape Verde Islands and bringing heavy rain and gusty winds.  At 5 am Tuesday, Rene was located near 16.4 North, 24.9 West, and was moving west at 15 miles per hour.  The maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour.  Computer models indicate both tropical storms will move through the open Atlantic, but we’ll keep an eye on them.

Elsewhere, the low that’s now a couple of hundred miles southwest of Bermuda has a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression before reaching the Carolina coast several days from now.  And yet another wave is expected to emerge from the African coast on Wednesday or Thursday, and this wave has a medium chance of developing during the next five days.
