Alabama Skies: We have twins! Two storms are churning across the Atlantic. Will they head this way?

Published 9:43 pm Thursday, September 28, 2023

Tropical Storm Rina joined Tropical Storm Philippe in the Atlantic Ocean over the last 24 hours.

So far, they’re both moving westward towards the United States; however, we’re not expecting the path to continue. Models are confident that Philippe will turn towards the north while Rina looks to curve more northwest.

For now, we aren’t expecting any impact from either storm in the U. S.

Back home, we’re back under dangerous wildfire conditions. The few showers some of us had earlier in the week are long gone and we’re right back to sunny skies, light breezes, and dry conditions. We’ll actually lower our humidity levels Friday into Saturday, so fire conditions are returning quickly.
