GONZALO STILL A TROPICAL STORM AS IT MOVES AWAY FROM THE CABO VERDE ISLANDS

According to the NHC advisory number 6

Gonzalo is moving toward the north near 9 mph (15 km/h). A motion between north and north-northwest is expected to continue through the weekend, with a deceleration and a turn to the west-northwest expected early next week. On the forecast track, the center will continue to move away from northeastern portions of the Cabo Verde Islands today. Maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is anticipated, and Gonzalo could become a remnant low or dissipate within the next 24 hours. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).
