A tropical storm's intensity has been revised upward. Estimates of its strength now range from 37 to 42 kt, with the initial estimate set at 40 kt. The storm's movement is westward at a speed of 12 kt.

Its structure is characterized by a specific pattern, with a low-level center located near the edge of a convective area. This area has very cold cloud tops and has persisted for some time.

Further details about the storm's track and intensity are available from the National Hurricane Center's discussion. The storm is expected to continue moving in a generally westward direction due to a mid-level ridge.
