AZORES -
Hurricane Nadine, which was initially named late last Tuesday, continues to spin in the central Atlantic. This Sunday morning, Nadine has maximum sustained winds of 80 mph, which makes it a Category 1 storm. Steering winds continue to steadily push Nadine to the east at a pretty decent clip, at 17 mph. Nadine will gradually begin to curve northeast, and the storm should then slow down and weaken as it gets closer to the Azore Islands, nearly a thousand miles west of Portugal.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, there is cluster of disorganized thunderstorms to the east of the Lesser Antilles. That area of low pressure has only small chance of becoming organized into a tropical depression.
Hurricane season continues until the end of November, although the peak of the season was back on September 10th.
