Meanwhile, there are now multiple tropical storms in the Atlantic basin, according to the National Hurricane Center.
As Paulette continues to slowly move across the central Atlantic, Renee became the earliest known 17th named R-named storm.

Renee is now located about 100 miles west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
There is yet another system posing concern being monitored south of Bermuda.
