Tropical Storm Delta forms in Caribbean
(CNN)Tropical Storm Delta has formed in the Caribbean and is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane before moving toward the US coast this week, according to the National Hurricane Center Monday morning.
If Delta makes landfall in the US, it will be the first time a storm with a Greek letter does so in the US.

The storm made landfall late Monday just north of Port O’Connor, Texas, and has the distinction of being the first time a storm named for a Greek letter made landfall in the continental United States. Forecasters ran out of traditional storm names last week, forcing the use of the Greek alphabet for only the second time since the 1950s.
Early Tuesday, Beta was 10 miles (15 kilometers) east-southeast of Victoria, Texas, with maximum winds of 40 mph (64 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was moving toward the northwest near 3 mph (4 kilometers) and is expected to stall inland over Texas through Wednesday.
