Tropical Storm Ida formed out of a Tropical Depression west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands in the eastern Atlantic.  This storm will be moving slowly to the northwest for nearly a week. It will be  encountering upper level wind shear as well as dry air to it’s north, so significant development in the near term is unlikely.  We will watch this storm’s progress and post if necessary, however, this may be the only Named Storm Ida post, based on current data.
