Don has been floating around the Atlantic Ocean from a while.

The system was a subtropical storm then a subtropical depression, before recently strengthening back into a tropical storm.

Thankfully, Don is still not forecast to impact Florida.

Though it’s no threat to us, Don is expected to remain at tropical-storm strength through the weekend.

Don will eventually loop back around off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, before drifting off to the northeast and losing tropical characteristics by next week.

Channel 9 meteorologists are also monitoring a tropical wave moving off the coast of Africa.

Current plumes of Saharan dust also moving off the west coast of Africa will work against development for the time being.
