Named Storm – Omar

Tropical Storm Omar developed over the past several days from a low pressure area in the eastern Caribbean south of Jamaica, Haiti and Puerto Rico. This storm is being steered by upper level currents that will place it in a northeasterly direction by October 8-10. There is a good chance that this storm will make Hurricane status but it will be an Atlantic Ocean storm and will not affect any significant land mass for at least 7 to 10 days. It will be moving toward Europe in approximately 10 days.

Unless this storm has an unforeseen direction change, this will be our only Named Storm Omar posting.

Tropical Storm NANA

The tropics are awake again, with Nana rolling around in the Atlantic and an area near the Carribean that is poised for development. The following graphic from the National Hurricane Center illustrates the systems and their locations.
Early computer models suggest that both systems will not pose a threat to the Gulf of Mexico, however, we will continue to monitor these systems.

Tropical Storm Marco

Tropical Storm Marco intensified from a low pressure area in the southern Gulf of Mexico. It is a very compact storm but may intensify to Catagory 1 Hurricane strength before landfall in eastern coastal Mexico on Tuesday. Due to the close proximity of this storm to the coast of Mexico and imminent landfall within 12 to 24 hours, this will be our only posting for this storm. It will have no involvement on US Coastal Areas and limited involvement on the coast of Mexico due to it’s small size.
