Tropical Depression Two
Position: 12.0N 45.1W [10PM CDT 0300 UTC].
Movement: West [280°] near 16 mph [26 kph].
Maximum sustained winds: 35 mph [ 55 kph].
Wind Gusts: 45 mph [ 70 kph].
Minimum central pressure: 1012 mb.
Currently about 1110 miles [1790 km] East of the Lesser Antilles.
Intensity increase is in question because of the dry Saharan Air Layer just to the North of the storm. The Antilles and other islands would welcome a rain event, as they have had a very dry summer.
