Description
English: A pair of tropical storms formed over the Atlantic Ocean and moved toward the Caribbean in June 2023. This marks the first time on record that more than one cyclone has developed in the Atlantic east of the Antilles in the month of June.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the stormy scene on June 22. Near the time this image was captured, Tropical Storm Cindy (east) was just reaching tropical storm strength, while Tropical Storm Bret lead the westward march as it approached the Antilles with maximum sustained winds near 75 mph (121 km/h).

At 5:00 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC) on June 24 the National Hurricane Center (NHC) advised that Tropical Storm Cindy had intensified and carried maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h). It was located about 815 mi (1,315 km) east of the Lesser Antilles and was moving west-northwest, or roughly parallel to the islands. After spending the next 24 hours in a favorable environment with warm sea surface temperatures, Cindy is expected to weaken as it faces increased wind shear over the next few days and dissipate by June 27.

By June 24, Bret had tracked a path nearly due westward, crossing the central islands of the Lesser Antilles on June 23 as it carried maximum sustained winds near 60 mph (95 km/h). At 5:00 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC) on June 24, Bret was located about 170 mi (275 km) ENE of Curacao and was slightly weaker, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h). According to the NHC, all forecast models show Bret will continue to weaken with dissipation on June 25.
