Weakening Tropical Storm Cindy gets demoted to a wave. Here’s what the forecast says
Cindy is no more.
The tropical storm dissipated into a wave, and the National Hurricane Center issued its last advisory at 11 p.m. Sunday.
Here’s what to know about the system:
Where is the former Tropical Storm Cindy?
Location: As of Sunday’s final 11 p.m. advisory, the system was 375 miles north-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands.
Direction: The remnants of Cindy are moving northwest at 14 mph.
How strong is the storm?
Wind speed: As of 11 p.m. Sunday, maximum sustained winds were near 40 mph with higher gusts.
Looking ahead: The hurricane center says the storm was expected to weaken overnight, with winds dropping below tropical-storm force.
Where is it heading?
Forecast track: The remnants of Cindy are forecast to continue in a northwest motion for the next couple of days, and then turn north on the eastern side of a trough over the eastern United States and the western Atlantic.
Looking ahead: The hurricane center says there’s “little chance of any regeneration” due to storm-busting wind shear. But if that shear diminishes, Cindy could come to life again near Bermuda, although the center says that’s increasingly unlikely.
Will it affect Florida?
Local impact: Forecasters say there is no threat to Florida right now.
Are there watches and warnings?
Advisories: None.
