Sean almost a hurricane

Tropical Storm Sean has gradually gotten better organized today. Infrared and Visible Imagery show that an eye may be trying to form. This may be a sign that Sean may be close to hurricane strength. Winds are already close to it and only 9mph shy of becoming a Category 1 hurricane. We'll see what the next few days hold.

The projected path for Sean continues the motion to the north with a turn to the northeast sometime tomorrow. During that time, the National Hurricane Center thinks that Sean could reach minimal Category 1 strength but quickly weaken. Due to the large wind field of the system and the proximity to Bermuda, the Bermuda Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for the island. If Sean becomes a stronger hurricane than expected, it wouldn't be out of the question that a Hurricane Watch or Warning be issued. However this seems highly unlikely at the moment.

Tropical Cyclone Four-A lost organization today and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center wrote their last advisory on the system.

The Australian Region and South Pacific basins are quiet today and there are no areas of concern.

The Southwest Indian Ocean Cyclone Season starts November 15.

That's all for today.
