The center of Tropical Depression 11 is in the central Atlantic, east of the Antilles arc, moving west at a rate of 24 km/h. Its minimum pressure is 1007 mb and its maximum sustained winds are 55 km/h with gusts greater than 75 km/h.
It is expected to change its course slightly to the northwest, maintaining a similar movement speed throughout this week.
