In the tropics, Hurricane Epsilon’s large wind field will brush Bermuda on Thursday, and a tropical storm warning is in effect there. At 5 am Thursday, Epsilon was located near 30.6 North, 60.9 West, about 260 miles east-southeast of Bermuda. Maximum sustained winds were 110 miles per hour, and Epsilon was moving northwest at 7 miles per hour. Epsilon is forecast to remain in the open ocean until it weakens near Iceland early next week.
Elsewhere, we’re once again watching the western Caribbean. The National Hurricane Center says the trough of low pressure that has made our week so wet has a low chance of developing — but its center will end up near the Bahamas late in the weekend. While the NHC is forecasting slow development in the western Atlantic, we’ll keep an eye on all this until this feature has left our neighborhood.
