Area of Interest - Igor
|
Invest 91L has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Igor south of the Cape Verde Islands with sustained winds of 35 knots. Igor should move west to west northwest over the next few days - and rather slowly at first - eventually reaching hurricane strength in three or four days.
A modest southern jet extends from east of 60W to the west African coast above 21 to 22N - windshear is light below that latitude, so conditions should be good for additional development. At 50W the SST hits 29C.
