Good morning! Tropical Storm Igor, located about 3800 miles away from southwest Florida in the far eastern Atlantic, remains a 40 mph storm as of the 5 AM advisory. Right now, it is battling against some strong wind shear near the Cape Verde Islands although, as the system moves west, the wind shear is expected to weaken and as long as dry air doesn't get wrapped into the system, a strengthening trend is expected to begin late this week and into the weekend. We'll have many days to watch Igor which should be in the central Atlantic by Tuesday of next week. More on the tropics coming later..
