Tropical Disturbances Today

Disturbance 1. Tropical Storm Don. Don is moving toward the north-northeast near 16 mph with maximum sustained winds at 65 mph. The storm should turn northeastward later today and east-northeastward on Monday. Further weakening is forecast and Don is likely to lose tropical characteristics by early Monday. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

Disturbance 2. Central Tropical Atlantic (AL95): A small area of low pressure is located about 900 miles east of the Windward Islands. Although environmental conditions are only forecast to be marginally conducive for some gradual development, this system could still become a tropical depression during the next few days while it moves westward across the tropical Atlantic and eastern Caribbean Sea.  Unfavorable upper-level winds are forecast when the system moves into the central Caribbean around midweek, decreasing the chances of formation. Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent and formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
