storm of the Atlantic Hurricane season.

While the Midwest is beginning to recover from a series of devastating tornadoes and people pick-up the pieces from Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the Atlantic Hurricane season has virtually been forgotten. That does not mean it hasn't been a busy one nevertheless.

The National Hurricane Center reports that Subtropical Storm Melissa formed this morning over the Central Atlantic with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. The storm is expected to strengthen to a tropical storm by tomorrow. There are no coastal warnings or watches in effect. Melissa's path is not expected to threaten the East coast.

The storm is the 13th named storm of the 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Storm season which extends to Nov. 30.
