ZCZC MIATCDAT3 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Storm Bret Discussion Number 21 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032023 1100 AM EDT Sat Jun 24 2023 The Air Force Hurricane Hunters have been investigating Bret again this morning and found that the circulation is barely closed with very light winds on the system's south side. However, winds up to 40 kt are still occurring north of the center and are strongest in the deep convection just north of the ABC Islands. Therefore, Bret is being maintained as a 40-kt tropical storm for now. However, continued northwesterly vertical wind shear of about 30 kt should cause the storm to weaken and the circulation to open up soon, possibly even later today. Bret continues to move swiftly to the west at about 18 kt. This motion should continue until the storm dissipates. The main impact from the system is expected to be gusty winds and areas of heavy rain across portions of the ABC Islands and the northeastern portion of Colombia during the next several hours.
