Tropical Storm Pablo forms in the Atlantic Ocean
A small tropical storm has formed in the northeast Atlantic Ocean.
Tropical Storm Pablo is about 325 miles west-southwest of the Azores and moving toward the east-southeast at nearly 10 mph. The National Hurricane Center says it’s expected to keep heading that way tonight before gradually turning toward the northeast and picking up speed.
Pablo will pass near or over the Azores this weekend, meteorologists say.
At this point, Pablo is packing maximum sustained winds around 45 mph. Tropical-storm-force winds are presently extending outward up to 35 miles from the small storm’s center.
Pablo should weaken to become an extratropical cyclone in the next few days — likely just northeast of the Azores.
There are not currently any watches or warnings in effect.
The 10Weather team is also monitoring Tropical Storm Olga, which is brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. Olga will likely merge with a cold front and become a gale-force post-tropical low as early as Friday night. Click here for the latest information regarding Olga.
