The year is 2060. London shudders through months of Nordic winter freezes. Across northern Europe, oak and beech forests wither under severe frost and drought, while cereal yields collapse from temperatures plunging as low as 27 degrees Fahrenheit below today's averages.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic Ocean that has a medium chance of development over the next seven days.

Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center are monitoring an area of stormy weather located in the subtropical Atlantic Ocean for potential tropical development.
