MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Tropical Storm Don is no more, degenerating to an open wave over the far southeastern Caribbean Sea.

At 11 p.m., the center of the system was about 55 miles west-southwest of Grenada.

The aircraft data indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph with higher gusts.  These winds are occurring over the waters of the far southeastern Caribbean Sea.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles to the north of the center.

The remnants are moving quickly toward the west near 25 mph, and this motion is expected to continue during the next couple of days.

There are no coastal watches and warnings in effect.

Gusts to tropical storm force in squalls are still possible across the Windward Islands overnight.

The remnants of Don are expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 6 inches, with isolated higher amounts, across Trinidad and Tobago, the southern Windward Islands, and northeastern Venezuela through Wednesday.  These rains could produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in mountainous areas.

So far, the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season has seen three previous tropical storms, Arlene, Bret, and Cindy.
