TS Laura 10:15 AM ET
After developing a few days ago in the Northern Atlantic Ocean as a Subtropical Storm (a low that has both Tropical & Non-tropical characteristics) earlier today, Laura became a regular Tropical Storm with winds of 60 MPH moving northward. Due to Laura’s northward treck, it will quickly lose its tropical nature in large part due to quickly approaching cooler waters. But as the satellite representation shows , for the time being…Laura looks like a formidable tropical storm, even at a such a high latitude over the open waters. (The storm is at about 40 Deg. North, slightly north of NYC’s latitude)
Elsewhere in the Tropics, there is an area of distubed weather over the SE Gulf Of Mexico/NW Caribbean. But at this time, it does not look favorable for development as it shifts to the east towards the Atlantic Ocean.
