Tropical Storm Don formed east of the Windward Islands late Monday, but is expected to weaken again as it continues churning westward, National Hurricane Center forecasters said.

The compact storm, located about 485 miles southeast of Barbados and moving west at 17 mph, mustered a center Monday afternoon. Sustained winds reached 40 mph. The storm may pick up speed as the eye passes over the Windward Islands Tuesday, forecasters said.

However, Don is expected to fizzle in about three days when it encounters strong upper level winds in the eastern Caribbean, forecasters said. Tropical storm force winds extend just 25 miles from Don’s center.

2. What do you want to bet the deplorables

are complaining to the news stations and weather service about the name of the storm? They were up in arms over George Washington's favorite dessert. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029335086
This they won't stand for.

7. Don sounds itty bitty

25 miles from the center - I think a nasty thunderstorm is worse than this.
