Tropical update
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a strong low located a few hundred miles SSW of Cape Race, Newfoundland continue to show some signs of organization. However, the depression is always attached to a front and therefore remains non-tropical. The low is expected to move east and then southeast to slightly warmer temperatures over the next few days, and it may lose its associated fronts and acquire subtropical features over the weekend or early in the week. next over the central Atlantic.
