The National Hurricane Centre upgraded Disturbance1/AL90 to a tropical storm.
According to the DDM, at 11:00am, November 19, 2019, the centre of Tropical Storm Sebastien was located near latitude 20.1 North, longitude 58.7 West or approximately 391 miles North East of the [British] Virgin Islands.
It said Sebastien is moving toward the north-northwest near 8 mph.
No threat
“A turn to the north is expected on Wednesday followed by a turn to the northeast and an increase in forward speed Wednesday night,” DDm stated.
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph with higher gusts.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles from the centre.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb.
Some slight strengthening is possible over the next day or so; however, Sebastien is expected to become absorbed by a cold front in a couple of days.
Based on Sebastien’s location and current movement the system is not expected to have any effect on the Territory, DDM stated.
