   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.
