“The depression has about 24 hours over slightly warm waters in a low-shear zone to strengthen before it moves north of the Gulf Stream and disintegrates. Almost all intensity indications show the system turning into a tropical storm tonight, and considering the initial healthy structure, the official forecast follows that guide. The low pressure should lose tropical characteristics in approximately 36 hours due to very cold waters and will dissipate near Newfoundland in about 2 days, ”the bulletin’s discussion indicates.
The system could have winds of 50 mph.
