Now comes a new outlook. With a couple of days left in September, forecasters are tracking three tropical systems with potential for development.

According to the National Hurricane Center, one disturbance could become a tropical depression "at any time today," while another is forecast to form and move into the Gulf of Mexico next week.

Southeastern U.S. states started a massive cleanup and recovery effort on Sunday after winds, rain and storm surges from Hurricane Helene snuffed out power, destroyed roads and bridges and caused catastrophic flooding from Florida to Virginia.

Authorities across the southeastern U.S. faced the daunting task on Saturday of cleaning up from Hurricane Helene, one of the most powerful and perhaps costliest storms to hit the country, as the death toll continued to rise.

The storm spiraled through multiple states after making landfall late Thursday in Florida. Damages were extensive across hundreds of miles.
