Tropical Depression Gordon weakens, battles dry air in central Atlantic
Gordon weakened to a tropical depression on Sunday, after forming in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on Friday. Gordon's future will be masked by wind shear and dry air, which are helping to hinder the tropical cyclone.
The National Hurricane Center has determined that Gordon is no longer a tropical depression, after degrading since the overnight hours. Wind shear and dry air stopped Gordon from gaining strength, but there are indications that the remnants of Gordon could redevelop later this week.
Peak hurricane season was just last week. Even storms that did not reach tropical storm status, like Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight, delivered historic flooding to the Carolinas on Monday.

Where could Gordon redevelop?
While the remnants of Gordon do not have a well-defined, trackable center, the system will move north-northeastward over open waters. Some forecast models indicate that this system could redevelop later this week once it moves into a more moist environment. Gordon is the only named storm in the Atlantic that has not impacted land this year.
