Tropical Storm Lorenzo Weakens Over Open Atlantic, On Track to Dissipate Thursday

Overview

• The National Hurricane Center reports Lorenzo moving north at about 20 km/h and forecasts a turn to the northeast with acceleration.
• Tropical-storm-force winds extend roughly 95 km from the center and the minimum central pressure is estimated at 1004 mb.
• No watches or warnings are in effect for any land areas, reflecting the storm’s offshore track.
• Little change in intensity is expected before the system weakens and dissipates on Thursday.
• Authorities in Mexico say the storm formed far out in the central Atlantic and does not pose a risk to the country.
