Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Some slight additional strengthening is possible today. Weakening should begin tonight and Don is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone Sunday night.

Shower activity associated with a small area of low pressure located roughly midway between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles continues to show signs of organization.

Although environmental conditions are only marginally conducive, some additional gradual development is anticipated and this system will likely become a tropical depression by early next week while it moves westward across the tropical Atlantic.

Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system.
