"The ECMWF model (pictured above) has been consistent on the risk of storm Tuesday/Wednesday and that continues with latest run," he said.

"We haven’t seen a named storm yet this season but this has potential to be named. The first storm name is #StormAntoni but it’s wait and see for now if this will be named."
