Oyster Radio: Tropics Update: Tuesday Notes on Tropical Storm Nadine

Summary:

As of 11am EDT Tuesday, Tropical Storm Nadine was located 410 miles southwest of the Azores Islands.
Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph and little change in strength is expected over the next couple of days.
Tropical Storm Nadine is moving toward the northeast at 8 mph. The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center shows Nadine moving in a general northward direction through the next few days as it stays in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and far away from the United States.

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.
Although no direct impacts from Nadine are expected in Florida, ocean swells originating from this storm will continue to impact the Florida East Coast. These swells will generate a moderate rip current risk from Nassau County through Martin County today and these conditions will likely persist through at least mid week.
