A disorganized Tropical Depression sitting about 250 miles off the ESE coast of Bermuda has now become Tropical Storm Henri in the western Atlantic.
Wed 9/9/2015 - 11pmEST Update: Winds 40mph, moving North at 5mph, pressure 1008mb.
Expected to generally head northward for the next 36-48 hours then start turning more NE / E, some increase in strength expected mainly in the 36-48 hour time frame as shear and dry air are expected to decrease which will allow for strengthening but by that time it will be entering cooler water which will limit it. Shear and dry air are currently keeping convection to the east of the center (not healthy for tropical systems). Expected to merge with a frontal system later on and move on out.
Interest in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland should monitor the storms progress for potential effects possibly this Saturday.
Tropical Storm force winds estimated to extend outward 125 miles to the east of the center.
Expected to pass well East of Bermuda.
