Tropical Storm Joyce formed earlier today making it the tenth tropical cyclone of the season. As of 5pm, Joyce was approximately 1350 miles east of the Territory. On its current track, Joyce is not expected to be a threat to the Territory.
In the Atlantic approximately 2600 southeast of the Territory is a tropical wave with low chance of development by next week. The Department will continue to monitor this wave as it tracks westward as there is potential that it could influence weather patterns in the days ahead.
Helene continues to impact the United States while Isaac continues to be no threat to land.
