Thurs 13Aug 11aEDT/AST Tropical Storm Josephine forms (formally 95L, TD11). Average 10th formation date is October 19 and Josephine beats Jose of 2005 as earliest 10th storm (Record was 22Aug).
Estimated winds 45mph(75km/h), moving WNW 15mph(24km/h), pressure 1005mb.
Located about 975miles(1,565km) ESE of N Leeward Islands.
After hit and miss starts convection (storms) have continuously been firing this morning. Still not in the best shape but steady slow improvement. Storm expected to track just N of the Caribbean following around the clockwise flow of High Pressure over the Atlantic. Conditions not as favorable this weekend and weakening expected to start, likely gone by early next week as turns more North. No US impacts expected. Islands in NE Caribbean should keep an eye on for any outer edge effects but most if not all looks to stay North for now.
Official storm stats are released by the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) every 6hours at 5 & 11am/pmEDT/AST here: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov
