“The Atlantic is getting Frantic” –

Named Storm ‘Florence’ is meandering around the Central Atlantic. It is being affected by several other weather patterns and is almost impossible, at this time, to predict. Many of the Ensemble tracking projections from about 40 agencies and independent modelers are showing a slight curve to the north before it gets to the US Coast – HOWEVER, some of the quality models are showing an impact in the Carolinas and possibly the Georgia Coast as well – around next weekend, as a Major Category Hurricane.

Our own opinion is leaning toward an interaction in the Carolinas – but since this storm has been present in the Atlantic since August 30 and has been totally unpredictable, anything is possible. There are also 3 additional areas of concern in the Atlantic as of 5 PM EDT, Friday, September 7. We are watching all of these systems and will post as needed.

Persons from Florida to New England should be watching the progress of Named Storm Florence !!

Tropical Storm Beryl formed in the central mid Atlantic from a tropical low pressure area. This storm is located approximately 1200 miles east southeast of the Lesser Antilles and is moving generally west at 15 to 18 MPH. This storm may make Hurricane Category 1 status by late Friday, July 6, or early Saturday, July 7. However, the storm will be encountering upper level shear which will keep it from further development through early next week.

If this storm survives the upper level shear and re-develops in the Caribbean, we will post any updates as needed.

Named Storm Alberto – 2018

Alberto formed in the far western Caribbean from an upper level tropical low pressure area. This storm will be affecting coastal AND inland areas of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana over the next few days, as well as inland areas of Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas.

This is a slow moving storm system, so critical amounts of rainfall can be expected, producing lowlands flooding. Gusty winds can also be expected, causing tree damage and power outages in places. Some tornadoes may also be triggered by this storm.
