As of 9 a.m. GMT (5 a.m. EDT), Post-Tropical Cyclone Nigel was located near 46.3N and 32.6W, or about 640 miles north-northwest of the Azores. Nigel is weakening, with top sustained winds down to 70 mph. The storm is blitzing northeast at 37 mph. Nigel’s minimum central pressure is 976 mb, or 28.82 inches of mercury. Nigel has taken a northeasterly turn and is accelerating through the open Atlantic Ocean. This was ultimately Nigel's downfall as it moved into gradually cooler waters and has lost tropical characteristics. The post-tropical low will continue to advance northeastward, ultimately merging with another storm system headed for the British Isles. Other than Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen off the East Coast, a tropical wave near the Cabo Verde Islands has a chance to become a tropical depression. This system found about 500 miles to the west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands and will continue the long trek across the Atlantic through the weekend and into next week. If it continues northwestward without bending out to sea, it would still be at least 8-9 days from approaching land in the Americas. The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1st and will end November 30th. So far, the season has produced 15 tropical storms, six hurricanes, and three major hurricanes. This includes Hurricane Idalia, which made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend during late August, and Hurricane Lee that impacted New England and the Canadian Maritimes this past weekend.
