At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Vicky was located near latitude 21.9 North, longitude 36.7 West. Vicky is moving toward the westnorthwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). A turn to the west is forecast later today, followed by a westsouthwest motion on Friday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast, and Vicky is forecast to become a tropical depression later today and a remnant low by tonight.
Tropicalstormforce winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb (29.77 inches).

Strong upper-level westerly winds associated with the outflow of Hurricane Teddy continues to rip across the circulation of Vicky. These very hostile winds aloft are causing Vicky to struggle with maintaining deep convection, which is quite sheared and limited to the northeastern quadrant. The latest satellite intensity estimates range from 25 to 38 kt, and the initial intensity is held at a possibly generous 35 kt. Since the shear is expected to remain strong, Vicky is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression later today, a remnant low by tonight, and dissipate entirely by the weekend.
The weak storm is moving west-northwestward at 6 kt. A turn to the west is expected later today, followed by a west-southwest motion after that until the cyclone dissipates in a couple of days. The track forecast lies near the various consensus aids.
