The United States mainland could be subject to a one-two punch next week as two tropical storm systems gear-up and take aim at the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

Tropical Storm Gustav passed Jamaica and was expected to strengthen to hurricane status. The National Weather Service's National Hurricane Center said chances are the storm could strengthen to a Category 3 storm with sustained winds up to 115 mph.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Hanna formed in the Atlantic about 305 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands with sustained winds of 40 mph.
