00:00:01,468 --> 00:00:07,507
Storm activity is ramping up in the tropics as the peak of the Atlantic
hurricane season approaches.

2
00:00:07,507 --> 00:00:14,447
NOAA satellites are monitoring several storms in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

00:00:14,447 --> 00:00:20,453
Hurricane Linda, the second major hurricane in the eastern Pacific this season

4
00:00:20,453 --> 00:00:25,425
was a Category 4 storm at its peak.

5
00:00:28,228 --> 00:00:37,404
Meanwhile, in the Atlantic, NOAA satellites tracked three named storm systems.

6
00:00:38,605 --> 00:00:47,447
Tropical Storm Fred formed on August 11, 2021 and made landfall on the
eastern Florida Panhandle on August 16.

7
00:00:49,082 --> 00:00:54,854
Tropical Storm Grace formed in the Caribbean on August 14

8
00:00:54,854 --> 00:01:00,794
and intensified into a hurricane on August 18 as it approached 
Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.

9
00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:08,435
And Tropical Storm Henri developed on August 16 south of Bermuda.

10
00:01:08,435 --> 00:01:17,010
NOAA satellites provide data for forecasting and tracking the location,
movement and intensity of the storms.

11
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:27,754
Atmospheric and oceanic conditions in the Atlantic are primed
for an above-average hurricane season.

12
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:34,494
NOAA satellites stay vigilant as the hurricane season heats up.
