Introduction to Tropical Storm Lorenzo

Tropical Storm Lorenzo remains poorly organized over the central Atlantic even as it battles storm-hindering wind shear.

Lorenzo is forecast to move northwest then north across the Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Current Status of Lorenzo

As of 5 p.m. Monday, it had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and was moving northwest at 12 mph about 1,180 miles west of the Cabo Verde islands. Its tropical-storm-force winds extend up to 160 miles from the center.

Forecast and Potential Threats

Lorenzo is expected to churn over the open Atlantic and pose no threat to land. “Sharp dips in the jet stream (are creating) hostile conditions across the Gulf, Florida, and the Bahamas, which will keep us free from tropical threats for at least the next week or two,” said Fox Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross on his Hurricane Intel blog.

Naming and Hurricane Season

The next named storm would be Melissa. Four hurricanes have formed so far in the Atlantic season, and none has hit the U.S. Of the 12 named Atlantic storms so far, only Tropical Storm Chantal has made a U.S. landfall. Hurricane season runs from through Nov. 30.
