Tropical Storm Igor Forms Over the Far Eastern Atlantic Ocean

Hello to all…

Tropical Strom Igor has formed over the Far Eastern Atlantic Ocean this morning. A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the Southern Cape Verde Islands as Igor is within 95 miles of the southermost islands. After passing near the Cape Verde Islands, Igor will traverse the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean over the next 5 days as a threat to shipping interests. It is unclear whether Igor will affect any land areas at this time but Igor is expected to intensify into a hurricane over the 5-day period as conditions become more favorable over the Atlantic Ocean for tropical cyclone development.

Igor advisory information can be seen on the VoIPWXNet web site by looking under Atlantic Tropical Products off the Main Menu of the web site. Igor Advisory information can also be seen off the National Hurricane Center web site via the following link:
