TRACKING THE TROPICS
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is continuing to issue advisories for Tropical Storm Lorenzo, which is located in the central Atlantic Ocean. As of Tuesday evening, Lorenzo is showing signs of weakening, appearing less organized on infrared satellite imagery.
As of 5 p.m. EDT, Lorenzo has sustained winds of 40 mph with gusts reaching up to 50 mph. The storm is moving northward out of the tropics, and as it moves further north, the environment will become more inhospitable for tropical systems.
Tropical Storm Lorenzo is forecast to weaken into a tropical depression by late Wednesday or early Thursday.
There is no threat to the U.S. or any land from Lorenzo.
The NHC is not currently monitoring any other areas for potential tropical development across the Atlantic basin at this time. Some long-range guidance indicates that the Caribbean may be an area to watch later in the month for potential development.
