Tropical Depression Gordon fizzles over Atlantic

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Gordon, the distant Atlantic tropical system, has degraded into a remnant low-pressure circulation while making a northerly turn in the Atlantic.

A system to its north triggered a decrease in organization, and as of Tuesday afternoon, it is no longer considered to be a tropical depression.

As it moves north, far from any land mass, the upper wind pattern will become more favorable for it to regain some of its organization and can return to depression or storm status.

Regardless of its future form, the former Gordon is thousands of miles from the east coast of the United States. Long-range indications keep it over the open waters with no harm to the U.S.
