At 200 AM CVT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Vicky was located near latitude 19.5 North, longitude 29.9 West. Vicky is moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h), and a turn toward the westnorthwest is expected within the next day or so, followed by a turn toward the west.
Satellitederived wind data indicate that the maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast due to strong upperlevel winds during the next 48 hours, and Vicky is likely to degenerate into remnant low by Wednesday
Tropicalstormforce winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km) from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).

Vicky continues to be highly sheared due to strong upper- tropospheric flow associated with a nearby trough, and its associated deep convection is confined to a small cluster to the northeast of the center. An ASCAT overpass from a few hours ago showed an area of winds to just over 40 kt over the northern semicircle and, based on sampling limitations, the current intensity has been adjusted to 45 kt. The storm is not likely to maintain its intensity, since the dynamical guidance indicates that the shear over the cyclone will become even stronger during the next day or so. Therefore steady weakening is anticipated, and Vicky is likely to become a remnant low in about 36 hours. The official intensity forecast is near or slightly below the latest model consensus. Center fixes give a slow northwestward motion, or 315/6 kt. A narrow and weak low- to mid-level ridge to the north of Vicky should result in a northwestward to west-northwestward motion into early Wednesday. Thereafter, when the system will have probably have lost most of its deep convection, the shallow cyclone is likely to move mainly westward following the low-level environmental winds. The official track forecast is close to previous one and about in the middle of the guidance suite.
