Tropical Storm Dorian Struggling in the Atlantic

Tropical Storm Dorian is fighting to maintain itself as a tropical cyclone.  Dorian, the fourth named Atlantic storm of the season, formed over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean southwest of the Cape Verde Islands early Wednesday morning.

Dorian will continue tracking west or west-northwest over the next several days on the south side of the Bermuda-Azores high, and will remain over open waters through the weekend.  

Dorian will approach the longitude of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico Sunday night into Monday, and then the Dominican Republic and Haiti Monday night into Tuesday. While it appears more likely Dorian's center will track north of those locations, some fringe effects are possible in these areas, such as bands of locally heavy rainfall and areas of high surf/rip currents.

 

That all said, two factors are working to weaken Dorian.

Cosme is the second hurricane of the 2013 Eastern Pacific season. During late May, Barbara became a hurricane just prior to making landfall near Puerto Arista, Mexico in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. On June 26, 2013, Hurricane Cosme was battering Clarion Island, Mexico. However, it weakened shortly after and it is now categorized as tropical storm again. The National Hurricane Center expects that Cosme will continue weakening through the day and drop to tropical depression status sometime on June 27, 2013.
