Tropical storm forms off US, to stalk Canada

Miami (AFP) July 13, 2015

The third storm of the Atlantic hurricane system formed Monday off the US coast and is on course to menace Canada, forecasters said.

Tropical Storm Claudette was about 290 miles (450 kilometers) southeast of Massachusetts at 1700 GMT, the National Hurricane Center said, packing maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour.

The storm was not expected to threaten the United States, but could approach Canada's Nova Scotia on Tuesday and Wednesday, experts said, albeit in a weakened state.

Claudette is the third tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June to November.
