Month: September 2012

Named Storm Nadine formed in the central Atlantic from Tropical Depression number 14. This storm will generally follow the same northerly and northeasterly track as it’s two predecessors, Leslie and Michael. This storm will not affect any US coastal area, so this will be our only mention of Named Storm Nadine.

Both Named Storms Leslie and Michael are slowly moving to the north by way of weak steering currents. By September 12-13, these storms will be picked up by the Jet Stream once again and will start moving further to the northeast. They will merge into one storm later next week over the Grand Banks of the northern Atlantic off Newfoundland. Persons along most of the East Coast of the US can espect high surf and dangerous rip currents along most beach areas. There will be no other direct US coastal involvement with these storms, however coastal Nova Scotia and Newfoundland will be affected as well as the off-shore commercial fishing grounds near The Grand Banks. This will be our final unofficial update on these two storms.

Tropical Storm Michael formed from a tropical wave in the mid Atlantic. This storm is moving to the north at only 5 MPH and is expected to attain hurricane strength within 2 to 3 days. This storm may be drawn slightly to the west by the more vigorous Tropical Storm Leslie. However, since the upper level steering currents that both storms are enountering are very weak, these storms are going to rotate over relatively warm waters for several days. Leslie will be a significant threat to Bermuda after this weekend and it may influence the eventual track of Michael as well.

While it is much too early to predict the tracking of both Leslie and Michael past Monday, September 10, we are asking that all persons in the Atlantic coastal areas of the US from North Carolina to New England pay attention to both of these storms. One computer model is showing an interaction between these two storms for the middle to end of next week that could potentially become another “perfect storm” off New England and the Canadian Maritime Provinces.

Comment on Tropical Storm Leslie –

We are looking at long range computer modeling for this storm. There is now a component of the upper level steering currents that could potentially allow this storm to move more northwesterly after next Wednesday. While it is way too early to make any predictions based on current data, we are simply mentioning this possibility so persons along the northeastern Atlantic Coast of the US can start paying attention to the National Hurricane Center advisories. We, at the Tropical Storm Research Center, will also post new data as needed.
