Cindy Degenerates Into Remnant Storm Over Atlantic
June 26, 2023
UPDATED By WeatherBug Meteorologists
After entering into unfavorable conditions found over the western Atlantic, Tropical Storm Cindy has now fizzled out into a remnant storm.
As of 11 p.m. AST, the remnants of Cindy was located near 22.8 N and 60.0 W, or about 375 miles north-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. Cindy has lost its tropical storm status, with sustained winds at 40 mph as it moves northwest at 14 mph. The storm's central pressure was 1011 mb, or 29.86 inches of mercury.
Cindy peaked in intensity as a strong tropical storm, but as it continued into an unfavorable environment between the Lesser Antilles and Bermuda it began to weaken drastically.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Bret has lost organization in the Caribbean. The remnants of Bret has been producing rainfall across the ABC islands and northern Colombia, and this is likely to continue for the next day or so.
Both storms are moving across an area climatologically not favored for tropical development so early in the season. Only once has a storm been named this far east across the Atlantic Ocean between June 15th and June 30th since records began in 1851, which was Hurricane Elsa on June 30, 2021. A slow increase in tropical development typically occurs in July, with the peak of the Cape Verde season during September and October.
The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1st and ends on November 30th. So far this year, there have been two tropical systems. A low pressure system that formed off the Northeast coast in January was reclassified as a subtropical system. It was not given a name though since it was classified as subtropical after it had dissipated. Tropical Storm Arlene formed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico on June 1st and then dissipated a few days later.
