TS Ophelia and TS Philippe Final Info

Final Tropical Storm Ophelia – and Tropical Storm Philippe information.

As anticipated, TS Ophelia will remain well off the east coast of the US and will not bring anything but slightly higher surf conditions to some areas next week. We will not be tracking Tropical Storm Philippe at all because the storm will move northward and will stay well out to sea in the central Atlantic.

Named Storm Ophelia – Initial Advisory Sept. 21

Tropical Storm Ophelia is located in the central Atlantic about 2000 miles east of the Leeward Islands. The storm will be encountering upper level wind shear and some dry air masses which will prevent it from strengthening much for the next 3 to 5 days. This storm is moving west at 12 to 14 MPH and is taking a southern track thus far. This storm will affect the Leeward and Windward Islands and Puerto Rico late this weekend into early next week. While it is much to early to give a precise track that may affect the southeastern US, we are asking that persons in Florida start monitoring this storm’s progress. We will post additional information as needed in a few days when this storm’s progress and potential track has been analyzed more.

Tropical Storm Maria – Final Update

Tropical Storm Maria Update and final post, 4 AM EDT September 13, 2011. As anticipated, high pressure with an associated dry air mass is steering the storm more northward away from the coastal US – following a similar track to Hurricane Katia. US east coastal regions may see increased surf and the resulting rip currents as well as some rain showers occasionally for the next week or so. However, the effects will be minimal. This will be our final Tropical Storm Maria posting.

Named Storms Maria and Nate

Named Storms Maria and Nate formed from tropical low pressure areas late Wednesday, September 7. Tropical Storm Maria is currently in the east central Atlantic moving north-northwest. Because Maria will be affected by upper level shear and dry air masses, this storm may not reach hurricane levels for several days. Maria tracking models are showing a northerly curve starting around Tuesday, September 13 and it will most likely follow a similar route that Hurricane Katia is currently taking off shore along the US east Coast. Katia is causing high surf and dangerous rip currents along the east coast. Maria will most likely cause the same effects starting around Tuesday, September 13.

Tropical Storm Nate is in the south central Gulf of Mexico. The tracking models are showing northwesterly movement and hurricane status by sometime Friday, September 9. Probabilities are that Named Storm Nate will be making a northeast Mexico landfall late Monday or early Tuesday, however one tracking model is showing a track much farther to the north and we are watching this possibility closely.

Hurricane Katia Update September 07, 2011

Hurricane Katia Update September 07, 2011. As the result of the storm slowing it’s forward movement to less than 10 miles per hour to the northwest, two weather systems are now steering Katia slightly away from the US mainland. However, since the Tropical Storm level wind field surrounding this hurricane is so broad, parts of the US coast from Georgia to New England will see an increase in surf heights and higher than normal tides along with dangerous rip currents and some localized rain over the next several days.

We are carefully watching Tropical Depression # 14 – This one is tracking much farther to the south than Katia and may become a southeastern US issue by the middle of next week. There is also a disturbance in the southern Gulf of Mexico that may be an issue for Gulf Coast States in just a few days. When either of these low pressure areas becomes a ‘named storm’, we will start new postings accordingly.

Tropical Storm / Hurricane Katia Update and Info

Tropical Storm / Hurricane Katia has shown a trend in our own tracking models to move further to the west than some other reports are showing. We are renewing our call for persons in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and the Gulf Coast States to monitor this storm’s progress very carefully.

We are also just mentioning that Tropical Depression # 13, which will probably become a Tropical Storm later today in the central Gulf of Mexico, will produce huge amounts of rain and gusty winds from the Florida Panhandle to the Louisiana/Texas border. Residents in the southern regions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and northwestern Florida will experience some lowlands flooding, high coastal surf, dangerous rip currents and very strong thunderstorms over the next several days. We will not post any additional data regarding this Gulf storm because of it’s close proximity to land already.

We are also watching a low pressure area off the coast of Nova Scotia for possible strengthening. However, this low pressure area is moving out to sea and will not affect the US.
