The latest storm forecast says that the tropical depression that formed on the morning of August 3 may strengthen into a tropical storm - storm number 4 in the Atlantic Ocean.

CNN reported that the latest storm, tropical depression, and tropical storm warnings have been issued for some areas in Florida, USA, before storm No. 4 Debby is expected to form this weekend.

The low pressure area with winds of nearly 50 km/h in the Atlantic Ocean is being designated by the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) as potential storm development area No. 4.

The low pressure area showed signs of strengthening when it reached the Cuba area, southern Bahamas on August 2 (local time).

According to NHC's latest storm forecast, this low pressure area will become a tropical depression on the morning of August 3 after appearing in the waters between Cuba and Florida, USA and is expected to strengthen into Storm Debby on the evening of August 3.

The US National Hurricane Center issued an extended tropical storm warning along the west coast of the Florida peninsula, from Bonita Beach to Boca Grande. The agency called on people in the affected area to prepare to respond to tropical storms within the next 48 hours.

Hurricane Debby is expected to move parallel to Florida's coastal area this weekend, gradually strengthen, then turn east and make landfall.
