As of 5:00 AM today, Wednesday, Sean was located roughly 725 miles west-southwest of Africa’s Cabo Verde Islands in the far eastern Atlantic.
It was moving west-northwest at 13 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, just 1 mph over the minimum threshold for a tropical storm.
The National Hurricane Center has forecast little change in strength for the next few days.
Sean’s tropical-storm-force winds extended out up to 90 miles.
Also Wednesday, a new tropical wave that just emerged off Africa has been given a 20-30% chance of developing.
