While Hurricane Michael and Tropical Storm Leslie spin about elsewhere in the Atlantic Hurricane Basin, Tropical Storm Nadine has formed in the eastern Atlantic. This is the latest in the calendar year that the Atlantic has had 3 named storms simultaneously since 1950. Nadine also broke a record this morning for being the farthest east that a named storm has formed in the Tropical Atlantic (south of 23.5°N)  this late in the calendar year. Fortunately, Nadine will be of no threat to land over what is expected to be a short life cycle.




As of the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center (NHC),  the center of Tropical Storm Nadine was located near latitude 10.5 North, longitude 30.0 West. Nadine is moving toward the west-northwest near 9 mph, and this motion is expected to continue through tonight. A motion toward the northwest at a similar forward speed is forecast on Wednesday through Friday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph with higher gusts. The NHC expects some additional strengthening  through Wednesday; however, Nadine is not expected to reach hurricane strength. By early Thursday, a weakening period should begin, with Nadine forecast to weaken to a Tropical Depression by Friday and dissipate by Saturday.
