With more than two months left in the season, the Atlantic Basin shows no sign of slowing. Tropical Storm Peter developed out of Depression Sixteen late in the afternoon on Saturday, September 18. Earlier in the week, forecasters began watching a low-pressure system that moved off the African Coast near the Cabo Verde islands. The system moved generally west northwest. On Saturday afternoon, it organized into Tropical Depression Sixteen. A few hours later, the NHC upgraded Depression Sixteen to a tropical storm and named it Peter.<\/p>\n

Tropical Storm Peter moved northwest and is currently about 150 miles north of the Leeward Islands. Heavy rain could cause some flooding across the Leeward Islands with some heavy surf conditions. The National Hurricane Center has not issued warnings or watches for Peter.<\/p>\n

Peter is battling strong wind shear. Most of the storm\u2019s wind field is northeast of the center, well away from the Caribbean Islands.<\/p>\n

Despite battling wind shear, Tropical Storm Peter has sustained winds of 50 MPH with higher gusts. It should continue to track northwest for the next two days and gradually weaken due to the strong wind shear. A turn to the north and northeast and it should weaken to a depression on day three (Thursday) and four. Gradual strengthening should follow as it moves toward Bermuda and it could regain tropical storm strength by Saturday.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
