PRAIA, Cape Verde, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Tropical Storm Josephine was downgraded to a tropical depression as its strength dissipated as it approached the Cape Verde Islands, weather officials say.

A National Hurricane Center Bulletin Saturday said the former tropical storm is expected to dissipate even further as it travels the nearly 855 remaining miles to the Atlantic Ocean islands.

Hurricane Center forecasters said the depression currently has maximum sustained winds of nearly 30 mph and is moving at nearly 9 mph in a west by northwest direction.
