Tropical Storm Dorian Expected to Continue West-Northwest (UPDATE)

Tropical Storm Dorian formed in the Atlantic Ocean on July 24, and has been gaining speed since then.

Dorian's winds sustained a top speed of 50 mph according to The Huffington Post. Nothing is expected to change regarding the storm's strength the next 24 hours or so.

There are no land threats for this storm as of press time.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center believes that a west-northwest- to westward path will continue for the storm through at least today, July 25.

Dorian is the fourth storm to form during the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs until November 30 according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

The fact that the U.S. has already been hit with four storms isn't good, and it could mean this year's hurricane season will be much worse than those in years past.

The fourth storm from 1966 through 2009 usually didn't form until August 23, meaning the U.S. is already a month ahead of schedule.

A five-day forecast believes Dorian will pass north of Puerto Rico by next week according to Weather.gov.

Experts don't believe the storm will get any worse due to cooler water and dry wind shear in the Atlantic according to NBC News.

Rain is expected however in the southern U.S. and the Bahamas next week.
