The Tropical Weather Outlook
Early this morning, TS Emily was near 17.3N 71.7W or about 900 miles E of the Bay Islands. Maximum sustained winds are 45 kt with gusts to 50 kts. Minimum pressure has increased to 1005 mb. It is essentially stationary. But Emily is forecast to resume movement WNW across Hispanola sometime today and then into the SW North Atlantic tomorrow. Currently, this storm poses no threat to us, but all interests here, should continue to monitor its development.
Else where tropical storm formation is not expected for the next 24 hours.
