Please visit the National Hurricane Center (NHC) for the latest information. At 5:00 pm EDT (21:00 UTC), it was located near 22.4N 56.6W, approximately 672 statute miles (1,082 km) east-northeast (66°) of San Juan, Puerto Rico (U.S.) (area's history with tropical systems). It has maximum sustained winds near 50 mph (45 knots; 85 km/h) with higher gusts. It has a minimum central pressure of 1004 mb (29.65 inHg). It is moving toward the west-northwest (300°) near 12 mph (10 knots; 19 km/h).

For the latest official hurricane information, please refer to the National Hurricane Center. (NHC) Never rely on unofficial sources. Our site's systems are designed to present information that encourages you to visit the NHC for more information. Our site's systems are subject to not being available at times and can contain errors.
The data for this feature mainly comes from the NHC's current storms file. You can learn more about that file here from the NHC. That page has a PDF file, which can be found here, that explains how to read that file.
Additional data, including for areas of investigation called invests that are numbered from 90 to 99, comes from the NHC's Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast System (ATCF). While this data comes from the NHC, advisory data, which is available for potential tropical cyclones, depressions and named tropical systems numbered 01 to 49, will be updated more frequently, especially when watches and/or warnings have been issued. The current and past position data from the ATCF system, called best track data, is subject to revision during the storm and after it. It can sometimes contain errors. The ATCF system is also where NHC model data is released. You can view our model system, which has data solely from the NHC's ATCF system, here.
When available, our system notes when watches and/or warnings are in effect based on the NHC's storm file. While often they will be for tropical storm or hurricane watches and/or warnings, if NOAA's Weather Prediction Center (WPC) is issuing advisories for a system that remains a flood threat then they may be related to flood watches and/or warnings.
An invest area represents an area that is being watched for possible development. Refer to the tropical outlooks at the NHC for guidance on the possibility of development from these areas and look for the latest official advisory data if the storm is a tropical depression or higher.
When a storm has winds of 80 mph or more, a hurricane damage potential statistic will be included with the storm that estimates how many times more damage potential there is compared to a 75 mph hurricane. You can learn more about that from this page and table from NOAA. This hurricane damage potential statistic does not take into account such things as a current storm's size, the amount of infrastructure that may be in a storm's path or the vulnerability of an area to storm surge. (as well as whether there is a greater or lesser risk of tornadoes and/or inland flooding from rainfall) This estimated statistic applies to what the approximate damage potential of a storm of this intensity could be at landfall based on the normalized damages from previous hurricanes making landfall on the U.S. mainland. If a storm is smaller than average, impacts a less populated area, and/or impacts an area less vulnerable to storm surge, the damage potential could be less. Conversely, if a storm is larger than average, impacts a more populated area, and/or impacts an area more vulnerable to storm surge, the damage potential could be much higher.
Because our site is based in the U.S., and the general public there is more familiar with miles per hour than knots, the intensity will be given in miles per hour in a format that matches what you would expect to see in a public advisory from the NHC. We take the wind speed in knots that we download from the NHC and convert that to miles per hour. Instead of rounding to the nearest 1 mph, we round to the nearest 5 mph like public advisories do.
Some rounding issues are possible when it comes to calculating data for other units for storm movement and pressure. In those instances, data may be slightly different from any available NHC public advisory values. The data for km/h could be off by 1 km/h and the data for inHg could be off by about 0.01 inHg. Additionally, some issues with rounding may also be an issue in the given data in the NHC's storm file compared to what the NHC's public advisory may list. On one occasion the given movement for a storm was 1 mph off in the NHC's current storm's file compared to the NHC's public advisory data at the same time. The issues may relate to either which starting value the NHC uses to then convert to other units or to floating-point errors in computing.
"A weather system for which a tropical cyclone forecast center (NHC, CPHC, or JTWC) is interested in collecting specialized data sets (e.g., microwave imagery) and/or running model guidance. Once a system has been designated as an invest, data collection and processing is initiated on a number of government and academic web sites, including the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (UW-CIMSS). The designation of a system as an invest does not correspond to any particular likelihood of development of the system into a tropical cyclone; operational products such as the Tropical Weather Outlook or the JTWC/TCFA should be consulted for this purpose."
