Named Storm Dorian – 2013

Tropical Storm Dorian formed today out of a tropical depression and is currently 550 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands near the African Coast and is moving generally westward at 20 miles per hour. Current tracking is indicating that the storm will be over unfavorably cool waters of the Atlantic until Monday, July 29 and at that time it will be near Puerto Rico. There are signs that this storm may travel just north of Hispaniola around Tuesday, July 30 and may gain strength. We are tracking this storm and if computer modeling starts to indicate a US involvement, we will update this information.
