PALOMA
Hurricane Paloma has been downgraded to Tropical Storm Paloma. Paloma has slowed its forward progress, and is still over eastern Cuba. Top winds are 70 mph. It will emerge off the north coast of Cuba today and continue to weaken. It will become a remnant low that will drift erratically. It may move westward. Don’t look for any regeneration.
