Tropical Storm Dorian's threat is weakening as is becomes less organized as while moving across the Atlantic and farther from land, according to The Associated Press.

The storm's maximum sustained winds calculated early Friday are near 50 mph and the U.S. National Hurricane Center said the storm will begin to weaken over the weekend. Dorian is currently centered about 1,425 miles (2,290 kilometers) east of the northern Leeward Islands and is moving west-northwest near 20 mph, according to the AP. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

The storm intensified through Wednesday night, stayed fairly level, and then weakened again. It picked up strength for some time early Thursday, with maximum sustained winds increasing to near 60 mph as it centered about 700 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands, off the coast of west Africa.

The National Hurricane Center forecasted that it will pass close to Puerto Rico on Monday, Hispaniola on Tuesday, then the Bahamas or eastern Cuba on Wednesday, The Washington Post reported. Long-range models show it rending further and further south, making it possible that Dorian it will pass too close to the mountains of Hispaniola and eastern Cuba and get torn apart before ever reaching western Cuba/Florida.

Many predicted earlier in the week that Dorian's movement would not intensify, especially with dry and and wind shear intruding into its circulation.

In the Pacific, Tropical Storm Flossie has strengthened a little but also poses no land threats. Flossie is centered about 1,640 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, and is moving west near 18 mph. It's maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph.
