A tropical depression may form this week from a system near Central America as Hurricane Tammy moves past islands on the edge of the eastern Caribbean. Tammy made landfall on the Caribbean island of Barbuda on Saturday night with 85 mph winds and lashed the Leeward Islands on Sunday. Tammy is expected to continue moving north through Sunday night, the hurricane center said, before turning north or north-northeast on Tuesday. The remaining storm names for 2023 are Vince and Whitney. In previous years, the Greek alphabet was used for additional storm names — which had only happened twice before — during the record-shattering hurricane seasons in 2005 and 2020.
