FIRST ALERT: Tropical Storm Cindy continues to weaken

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Tropical storm Cindy likely to weaken into a tropical depression early this week.

TROPICAL STORM CINDY

At 500 AM, the center of Tropical Storm Cindy was located 430 miles Northeast of the Lesser Antilles. Cindy is moving toward northwest near 21 mph. A west-northwestward to northwestward motion is expected over the next few days.

On the forecast track, the system is expected to remain well east and northeast of the northern Leeward Islands through early next week. We’re not expecting any threats to the United States with these two storm systems, however we will have moderate risk for rip currents for our area for the next couple of days.
