Tropical Storm Grace is dying a quick death in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami say the remnants of the storm were Monday night by a front.
Grace's top sustained winds dropped to 50 mph.
The center of the storm was about 210 miles southwest of Cork, Ireland, around 11 p.m. ET
The remnants will likely continue to produce a small area of gale force winds through early Tuesday.
Far across the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Grace, a separate tropical wave headed for the eastern Caribbean, and the NHC gave that system a medium chance — 30 to 50 percent — of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
Given a medium chance of becoming a tropical cyclone by the NHC, this system was moving west-northwestward and some computer models saw it heading into the Caribbean sea south of Puerto Rico in the coming days.
Grace was the seventh named storm of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season.
Jeff Masters, a veteran forecaster of Weather Underground, described the emergence of Grace as an anomaly, saying it was the farthest northeast an Atlantic tropical storm had ever formed since satellite observations began in the 1960s.
The 2009 Atlantic hurricane season has been quiet, producing only seven named storms so far, of which only two, Bill and Fred, turned into hurricanes, although neither seriously threatened populated areas or oil facilities.
