Tropical storm 'Helene' forms over Atlantic

Miami, Sept. 14 (AP): Tropical Storm Helene developed from a tropical depression in the open Atlantic late Wednesday, while Hurricane Gordon strengthened into a powerful 'Category 3' hurricane and the remnants of Hurricane 'Florence' brought high winds and heavy rain to Newfoundland in Canada, forecasters said.
'Helene' had top sustained winds near 40 mph (64 kph), just above the 39-mph (63-kph) threshold for a tropical storm. It is the eighth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.
At 11 p.m. EDT (03:00 GMT), it was located 565 miles (909 kilometers) west of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands and moving west-northwest over warm Atlantic waters at 22 mph (35 kph), forecasters said.
