Goodbye Milton, Hello Nadine: Storm Threatens Caribbean and, maybe, the U.S.
Tropical Storm Nadine, currently in the Atlantic, poses a potential threat to the Caribbean, with possible paths leading toward South America, the Yucatan Peninsula or even the U.S. coastline facing the Gulf of Mexico. While the storm is still too far out for accurate predictions, its development is feeding off warm ocean waters, a factor driving an increasing number of late-season hurricanes. With the hurricane season having been extended by a month, the heightened concern over Nadine underscores the potential risks of climate change-driven weather events in the weeks ahead.
