Tropical Storm Dorian is expected to weaken slightly as it moves across the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean toward the Caribbean, forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Friday.
Dorian, the fourth named storm of the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season, was centered about 1,291 miles (2085 km) east of the Northern Leeward Islands and was moving west-northwest at 21 miles per hour (33 kph). It had top sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph), the hurricane center said.
Dorian posed no immediate threat to the Gulf of Mexico, where U.S. oil and gas operations are clustered.
