Tropical Storm Edouard forms in north Atlantic, moves further away from Florida
ORLANDO, Fla. - (UPDATE) Tropical Storm Edouard formed in the far north Atlantic late Sunday night, becoming the fifth named storm of the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
FOX 35 Meteorologist Allison Gargaro said the storm is moving northeastward and picking up speed, moving farther away from Florida.
Tropical Storm Edouard formed in the Atlantic on the Fourth of July.
Gargaro said that Florida is not at risk of impact since it is moving further into the Atlantic, away from the United States.
