Laura forms in the north Atlantic
An upper air low in the north Atlantic has slowly been gaining convection over the past couple of days. NHC appropriately named this system a subtropical storm earlier today. Officially top sustained winds are at 60 mph. This may be a bit high, but not far off. An upper high to the east near the Azores will steer Laura generally northward, then start to move northeast as an upper air trough approaches from the west. Laura is becoming more tropical and may make the transition later today or tonight. It will pass east of Newfoundland then head toward the British Isles in a few days.
