Summary:
- As of 11am EDT Thursday, Tropical Storm Nadine was located 265 miles south-southwest of Pico in the Azores Islands.
- Maximum sustained winds remain near 50 mph and little change in strength is expected over the next couple of days. Nadine could, however, lose its tropical characteristics over the next day or two.
- Tropical Storm Nadine is moving toward the east-southeast at 10 mph, and a turn toward the southeast with a decrease in forward speed is expected over the next 48 hours.
- The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center shows Nadine moving in a general southeastward direction through the next few days as it stays in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and far away from the United States.
· Elsewhere, as of 8am EDT, a non-tropical low pressure system, designated as invest 94L is producing disorganized showers and storms over the central Atlantic Ocean.
· Environmental conditions are expected to be favorable for development over the next couple of days and the National Hurricane Center is indicating that this system has a medium (40%) chance of becoming a subtropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
· Most models are in good agreement that this system will move to the northwest, away from Florida, before getting picked up by a cold front and turning towards the northeast.
Florida outlook:
- No part of Florida is within the 5 day error cone of Tropical Storm Nadine and this storm is not expected to have direct impacts on the Sunshine State.
- Invest 94L is not expected to bring any direct impacts to Florida.
- Although no direct impacts from Nadine are expected in Florida, ocean swells originating from this storm will combine with onshore winds to generate a moderate rip current risk from Volusia County through Martin County today.
