Weather tracker: Storm Boris brings catastrophic flooding to central Europe

Across the Atlantic, an area of low pressure is sitting off the coast of the Carolinas. This does not have tropical origins and is more similar in composition to the areas of low pressure often formed across the mid-Atlantic. However, as the depression tracks gradually northwards across the warm waters of the gulf stream, it could become tropical in nature, with showers and thunderstorms organising sufficiently to produce a tropical storm.
