Tropical Depression 4 is now Tropical Storm Cindy in the Atlantic

The Action News Jax First Alert Weather Team is monitoring two tropical systems, Tropical Storm Bret and Tropical Storm Cindy.

• First Alert Weather meteorologist Garrett Bedenbaugh states that we have never had, on record, two named storms to form in the tropical Atlantic in the month of June.
• Tropical Strom Cindy should stay out in the Atlantic, with the current forecast.

During the weekend, Tropical Storm Bret will interact with a lot of dry air and wind shear, which will weaken the storm, eventually causing it to fizzle out before it reaches the western Caribbean.

For Bret, the following watches and warnings are in effect:

• Hurricane Watch for St. Lucia
• Tropical Storm Warning for Dominica, St. Lucia, and Martinique.
• Tropical Storm Watch for Barbados, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines.

Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh said Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia are not expected to see any impacts from Bret or Cindy.
