Two tropical storms are currently developing in the Atlantic Ocean, and their paths suggest a potential convergence near the coast of North Carolina. This proximity raises the possibility of the Fujiwhara effect, a relatively uncommon meteorological phenomenon. The Fujiwhara effect takes place when two cyclonic systems come close enough to each other that they begin to interact, orbiting around a common center. This interaction can lead to unpredictable changes in both storm tracks and intensities.
