Tri State's News, Weather and Traffic Station Untitled Dean Downgrades to Tropical Wave Miami - Clear Channel News Dean is losing steam. Formerly a tropical storm, it is now just a tropical wave near the southeastern Bahamas. Officials have discontinued all storm warnings and watches for the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands. National Hurricane Center Meteorologist George Aguirre says upper level winds started taking the storm apart yesterday, but not before it dumped at least 7 inches of rain on Puerto Rico.
Forecasts show the system moving north-northwest.
