Tropical Strom Gonzalo has just formed in the Atlantic and we will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.
As for now, it has sustained winds of 45 mph and could reach hurricane statues before it reaches the Caribbean. The storm will then dissipate and that is when we will start paying closer attention as it will head back in the open water.
