ATLANTIC OCEAN- NASA's RapidScat Identifies Tropical Storm Grace Strong Side 
NASA's RapidScat instrument that flies aboard the International Space Station analyzed Tropical Storm Grace's surface winds on September 6 at 1 p.m. EDT). At that time the strongest winds were north and northwest of the center, and measured near 27 meters per second (60.4 mph/97.2 kph). However, sustained winds on the west and southwestern quadrants were near 12 meters per second (26.8 mph/43.2 kph) or less.
On Sept. 7, NOAA's GOES-East satellite provided a look at Grace's position in the Atlantic Ocean and showed that it was far from land areas.
At 5 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Grace was located near latitude 13.5 North, longitude 33.9 West. That puts Grace's center about 685 miles (1,100 km) west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands.
Grace was moving toward the west near 16 mph (26 kph), and this general motion is expected to continue over the next couple of days. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 kph) with higher gusts. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 millibars.
The National Hurricane Center noted that "Little change in strength is forecast during the next day or so, followed by gradual weakening thereafter."
