Tropical Storm Josephine has formed in the mid Atlantic but is no threat to us.
Josephine breaks the record as the earliest “J” tropical storm to form during the hurricane season by eight days.
Before this year, the earliest was Jose on Aug. 22, 2005. Josephine is currently the only storm the Tracking the Tropics team has their eye on with no new development expected over the next five days.
TS Josephine is not expected to become a hurricane and will spin out to sea as a fish storm according to the National Hurricane Center.
