It's a wave train of tropical systems moving through the Atlantic this morning. First up is Hurricane Igor which has quickly gained category four status as it continues to move westward. Behind it just moving off the African coast is Tropical Storm Julia with winds around 40 mph. There is another area of showers and storms that the National Hurricane Center is watching that will more than likely bring heavy rains to parts of Hispaniola, Jamaica, Cuba and the Cayman Islands. Hurricane Igor will continue its west/northwest movement over the next couple of days and is likely to intensify some before falling into an environment that may cause it to weaken by the middle to end of this week. Tropical Storm Julia will also continue to move west/northwest as it moves along the southwestern edge of a mid-level ridge. Neither Igor nor Julia are an immediate threat to the U.S.
