As of the late night advisory from the National Hurricane Center Sunday, there is one hurricane, one tropical storm, two depressions, and 3 other areas of interest in the Atlantic Ocean. Most of them will disappear without any impacts, but a few could be the real thing. One of the storms expected to make a major impact is Tropical Storm Sally. The storm will be landfall as a hurricane Tuesday in Louisiana, Alabama, or Mississippi. A 170-miles of coast, including New Orleans and Mobile, should be preparing for life threatening conditions. Hurricane Paulette is impacting Bermuda on this Monday. And Tropical Depression Twenty will soon become Teddy, who in the coming days will strengthen to a major hurricane. In the days to come, it remains out at sea and away from any harmful impact. In the long term, the storm requires monitoring and tracking. This amount of activity in the Atlantic Ocean is a lot, but not completely unexpected. September 10 was the statistic peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season -- and September and October remain the most likely times for the Carolinas to see an impactful hurricane. The evidence is in the history books, which is where Chris Mulcahy from WCNC Charlotte's First Warn Storm Team went. He tells us that this time of year is when North Carolina and South Carolina sees the worst hurricanes. Watch and read more of Chris' findings on wcnc.com
