Subtropical Storm Don formed Friday morning over the central Atlantic, becoming the fifth storm of the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane season.

Don is likely near its peak intensity already. Dry air is wrapping in on the south and west sides of the circulation and that stable air is expected to continue to entrain into the storm during the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Although the environment is not conducive for strengthening, it is also not hostile enough to cause significant weakening. The NHC's official forecast shows a gradual decay in Don’s strength.

The environment looks more conducive toward the end of the weekend and some strengthening is possible by then if the storm survives that long, forecasters said.

No impact to land is expected.
