A GOES-East satellite image, spanning from the Pacific to Atlantic shows the activity in the tropics. In the Pacific, Tropical Storm Eugene is moving westward with winds of 65 mph, and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane later tonight. Meanwhile, a low pressure system is keeping the attention of forecasters in the Atlantic, as it shows an 80% chance of organizing into a tropical depression or storm within the next 48 hours. If so, this system will be named Tropical Storm Emily. Current projections place its path moving northward along the Southeast U.S. coast.
