Pablo Accelerating Away From the Azores

Tropical Storm Pablo remains a compact system embedded within a larger low pressure system. Pablo has strengthened a bit and now has winds of 70 mph. Slow weakening is expected to begin this afternoon as it moves over cooler water. It will likely become post tropical by late tonight or early Monday morning. Pablo stays over the open waters of the northern Atlantic, turning northwest on Monday.

 

Tiny Tropical Storm Pablo Nears the Azores

If you look really close, you can make out Tropical Storm Pablo. The storm is embedded within a larger extratropical low pressure system near the Azores. There are no advisories in effect for Pablo as the larger low is already causing gale force winds, high waves and rain over the islands. Pablo may strengthen slightly during the next 36 hours but will weaken there after moving over cooler waters.

The northern Gulf coast continues to see heavy rain from what is left of Tropical Storm Olga. The low will race northeast today, taking the rain with it.
