Tropical activity picking up in Atlantic
It’s been one of the quietest stretches of tropical activity in more than 50 years, but things are starting to heat up in the Atlantic as forecasters continue to monitor a trio of tropical disturbances that could develop over the next week.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two areas of disturbed weather in the Atlantic Ocean while a third area spins across the Caribbean on a path that could eventually bring it into the warmer waters of the Bay of Campeche and Gulf of Mexico.

Flood threat rises across soggy South
New Orleans is in the bull's-eye for rain Wednesday as a storm system lingers over the South and Southeast, fueled by a stalled cold front.
The front will act as a conveyor belt for precipitation and thunderstorms to fire up, but rain chances will gradually decrease each day this week. The threat of flash flooding will continue until the system moves out of the region.
This graphic shows the flash flood threat through Friday, Sept. 6, 2024.

Watch: 'Ultra rare' orange lobster rescued from New York seafood shop
A rare orange lobster was released back into the ocean in late August, after being discovered in the seafood section of a New York grocery store. An animal rescue group returned the lobster into the wild, and said the crustacean was "an ultra-rare 1-in-30-million orange lobster."
The lobster was initially found earlier this summer at a Stop and Shop in the Long Island neighborhood of Southampton. She was part of a shipment of traditional brown lobsters.
