Tracking the Tropics: Maria becomes non-tropical

Hurricane Maria passed through Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula on Friday, and has since become non-tropical as she's been absorbed into a larger storm over Eastern Canada.  Not much other action in the tropics right now.

Maria to blast Newfoundland

Maria reached hurricane strength northwest of Bermuda on Thursday, and is racing northeast, leaving the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland directly in her sights.  The combination of an accelerating, rapidly moving storm, and her already-powerful winds, will create a strong blast for a small Canadian landmass.

Maria heads toward Bermuda

Although not expected to directly cross the island, Tropical Storm Maria still may strengthen to a hurricane before making a close pass to Bermuda - close enough to deliver minimally tropical storm winds.
