      A pair of tropical storms formed over the Atlantic Ocean and moved   
      toward the Caribbean in June 2023. This marks the first time on record   
      that more than one cyclone has developed in the Atlantic east of the   
      Antilles in the month of June.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the stormy scene   
      on June 22. Near the time this image was captured, Tropical Storm Cindy   
      (east) was just reaching tropical storm strength, while Tropical Storm   
      Brett lead the westward march as it approached the Antilles with   
      maximum sustained winds near 75 mph (121 km/h).   
      
      At 5:00 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC) on June 24 the National Hurricane Center   
      (NHC) advised that Tropical Storm Cindy had intensified and carried   
      maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h). It was located about 815   
      mi (1,315 km) east of the Lesser Antilles and was moving   
      west-northwest, or roughly parallel to the islands. After spending the   
      next 24 hours in a favorable environment with warm sea surface   
      temperatures, Cindy is expected to weaken as it faces increased wind   
      shear over the next few days and dissipate by June 27.   
      
      By June 24, Bret had tracked a path nearly due westward, crossing the   
      central islands of the Lesser Antilles on June 23 as it carried maximum   
      sustained winds near 60 mph (95 km/h). At 5:00 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC) on   
      June 24, Bret was located about 170 mi (275 km) ENE of Curacao and was   
      slightly weaker, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h).   
      According to the NHC, all forecast models show Bret will continue to   
      weaken with dissipation on June 25.
