MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) -- While Tropical Depression Fiona fights against upper-level winds to remain intact, a second depression formed Monday afternoon in the active southern latitudes of the north Atlantic.
Fiona is about 600 miles southeast of Bermuda with winds of 35 mph. The forecast for the system keeps it in a weaker mode, becoming a leftover area of low pressure in the western Atlantic by the end of the week. Chances for re-intensification are quite limited.
The second tropical depression, called Seven for now, is in the far eastern North Atlantic near the Cape Verde Islands, with peak winds of 35 mph, and moving west at 18 mph. The future looks better for this depression's chances to turn into a tropical storm or hurricane within the next five days, but remaining over open Atlantic waters with a slight curving to the west-northwest in its forecast track.
The next names on the Atlantic basin tropical storm list are Gaston and Hermine.
