Tropical Storm Lorenzo remains disorganized as it moves northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center’s latest update on Monday evening. As of 5 p.m. AST, the storm’s center was positioned near latitude 15.2 N, longitude 41.7 W, approximately 1,180 miles (1,895 kilometers) west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Lorenzo is currently generating maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h), with higher gusts, and is advancing northwest at a speed of 12 mph (19 km/h).
