MIAMI, FL — The National Hurricane Center said Tuesday that a tropical depression has fizzled off the Florida coast.
“The remnants are moving toward the north near 17 mph … A turn toward the north-northeast is expected later today,” said the National Hurricane Center.
Weather officials said the system was packing maximum sustained winds near 35 mph with higher gusts. It was located about 60 miles east, southeast of Daytona Beach and about 100 miles southeast of St. Augustine.
“A turn toward the north-northeast is expected later today,” said weather officials, adding that there would be no further advisories on the system following Tuesday’s 11 a.m. update.
Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches were possible across the northwest Bahamas on Tuesday. The depression was traveling at about 17 mph.
The National Weather Service said there was still enough punch in the system to deliver scattered to numerous shower and thunderstorms in South Florida from afternoon into evening.
“Due to the southwesterly flow, the greatest coverage of storms will be located across the interior and east coast sections,” weather officials said. “Localized heavy rainfall and gusty winds will be the main impacts with these storms. There could be some street flooding in the poor drainage areas.”
Weather researchers at the University of Colorado earlier this month reaffirmed an earlier forecast for a slightly below-average 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. The university’s Tropical Meteorology Project team has said the 2019 is expected to produce a total of 13 named storms. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.
“We have maintained our forecast for a near-average 2019 Atlantic hurricane season,” weather researchers said in July. “The tropical Atlantic currently has near-average sea surface temperatures. We believe that the odds of a weak El Niño persisting through August-October have diminished slightly.
University weather researchers said that Atlantic sea surface temperatures do not indicate an active hurricane season.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted nine to 15 named storms and two to four major hurricanes this year.
