TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Tropical Storm Don has regained its strength as it continues its loop in the northern Atlantic.
On Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said Don was located about 1,190 miles west-southwest of the Azores, an archipelago in the mid-Atlantic.
The tropical storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph with little change in its strength since Tuesday. It was heading south at 5 mph, continuing its loop track in the central Atlantic.
“Even though it has transitioned into a full tropical storm from a subtropical system, it still doesn’t look to impact anyone,” Max Defender 8 meteorologist Leigh Spann said. “Its track will loop around and basically remain stationary.”
Due to the lack of impact, no warnings or watches have been issued. Some gradual strengthening is expected over the next few days, according to the NHC.
On July 14, Don was designated a subtropical storm before it weakened into a subtropical depression on Sunday.
