Month: September 2018

Named Storm Isaac developed from a depression southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. This storm is tracking nearly due west and will be moving into an area of low wind shear and warm water, so  additional development is probable. This storm system will continue west for several days and will be very close to the islands between Barbados and Antigua in the Eastern Caribbean  roughly by Friday, September 14.  We will monitor this situation and if Isaac crosses into the Caribbean, we will post accordingly.

We are also recommending that ALL persons living along the East Coast of the US monitor details on Named Storm Florence and be prepared.

Named Storm Helene formed from a Tropical Depression off the west coast of Africa and is currently about 300 miles southeast of the Cape Verde Islands.  This storm will be moving westerly for several days and may intensify to Hurricane status, however, a  mid level trough of low pressure will be forming near the track of Helene and will start to move it northwest and then north over the next 5 to 7 days taking it away from US coastal involvement. Unless there is an unforseen change in the direction of this storm, this will be our only mention of Named Storm Helene.

Also, due to the serious concerns about Named Storm Florence – we are asking all persons along the entire US East Coast to be aware of this storm and to monitor it’s progress carefully.

“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 !!
