Santo Domingo, DR
The National Hurricane Center reported that tropical depression number five of this 2022 hurricane season has formed in the Atlantic.

While monitoring two other low-pressure systems, it keeps an eye on three low-pressure areas.

It had previously warned that the phenomenon was about 850 miles (1,300 kilometers) west-southwest of the Azores Islands.

It is moving west-northwestward toward waters adjacent to the northern Leeward Islands, between the U.S. and the British Virgin Islands, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, Barbados, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines.
