Tropical Storm Cindy is slightly stronger Friday morning in the open Atlantic.
The historic storm formed Thursday night in the central Atlantic. It is the first time two June tropical systems developed in the tropical Atlantic in recorded history.
As of 11 a.m. Friday, it was located 915 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and moving to the west at 15 mph.
Winds are now at 50 mph with higher gusts.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb.
Some additional strengthening is forecast over the next day or so followed by gradual weakening afterwards. Cindy is not expected to become a hurricane.
The storm is expected to remain well east and northeast of the northern Lesser Antilles through early next week, and will likely head out to sea.
The complex will not impact Northeast Florida or Southeast Georgia.
Cindy is the third tropical storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. Bret formed Monday in the open Atlantic, and Arlene was a short-lived system in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane season concludes on Nov. 30.
