Tropical Storm Tomas will continue to weaken

Posted by Sheena Parveen under Daily updates

Tomas, once a hurricane, blew past Haiti on Friday packing winds of 85mph with strong storms.  It has now decreased to a tropical storm and is moving over the Turks and Caicos, just North of Hispaniola.  It’s getting caught up in the cold front that moved through the Southeast, and this will keep the system away from the U.S., ultimately pushing it off into the Atlantic, then it will dissipate.

Tropical Storm Tomas may keep it’s current strength for the next 24 hours, but it will rapidly weaken as it becomes more absorbed into the cold front to its West.

Computer models also show this NE turn as the cold front interacts more with the storm.  Remember, hurricane season doesn’t end until November 30th.  Currently, there are no other significant tropical waves.
