Tropical Storm Karen dissipated yesterday evening but we are still watching Hurricane Lorenzo.

Lorenzo is battling wind shear and has weakened to a category 3 hurricane with 155 mph winds. The hurricane force winds extend out 50 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds extend out 290 miles. The Lesser Antilles and northeastern South America are seeing large swells and dangerous rip currents from the large storm. Lorenzo will stay out over the open Atlantic as it steadily weakens next week, due to cooler water and wind shear. Some islands in the western Azores may see strong winds by midweek.
