Sub-Tropical Storm Laura Forms in the Open Atlantic

Hello to all….

Sub-Tropical Storm Laura has formed in the Open Atlantic. Laura is not expected to affect any land areas and is only a concern for shipping interests but Laura has formed over the open Atlantic about 1015 miles west of Fayal Island in the Western Azores. Laura is currently moving to the west-northwest but is expected to turn northwest and northward with an increase in forward speed over the next day or so.

Laura may briefly become fully tropical and if that occurs she may briefly reach hurricane status before going over colder waters and weakening and become an extratropical or non-tropical system.
