Tropical Storm Rina formed from a tropical depression 550 miles east of Bermuda.  This storm is moving generally north, away from the US, and will not be affecting any US coastal areas.  This storm is expected to move toward the northeast in a day or two and dissipate in the North Atlantic. This will be our only mention of Named Storm Rina.

After several US landfalls since August, there may be a pause in storm formation for now.  We are providing the link to the National Hurricane Center for current information and any archived storm data for the 2017 season.

That being said, we are still monitoring all areas where Atlantic Basin storms form, in case any late season storms were to develop.

Named Storm Philippe formed in the western Caribbean from a Tropical Depression.   Persons in Florida south of a line from Fort Meyers to Vero Beach should be monitoring the progress of this storm this weekend for some heavy rain, gusty wind, high surf and some tornadoes. This is a quick moving storm, so due to the limited US coastal involvement of this storm, this will be our only unofficial advisory.

We are updating our previous information on this storm system to include the official name and to now include Louisiana in the advisory area, due to a slight westerly shift in the cone of probability as the result of interaction this weekend with an inland cold front.

Review the information provided in the two posts below this one.

Tropical Depression 16 is located off the east coast of Nicaragua in the western Caribbean.  This area of low pressure is forecast to move generally northerly and will most likely become Named Tropical Storm Nate – 2017 within 24 hours.  Since this storm will be going into favorable conditions for development over the next couple of days, we are posting this unofficial advisory for persons in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi to watch the progress of this storm carefully. We are also recommending that persons in these listed states be prepared for a possible Sunday, October 8  landfall as a strong Tropical Storm or even a Category 1 or 2 Hurricane.

Hurricane Maria Update September 19, 2017 @ 8 AM EDT.

Hurricane Maria is currently a Category 5 storm with central core winds measured at just over 160 MPH. This deadly hurricane is making it’s way west northwest and is affecting the islands of the Lesser Antilles and will be making a direct impact on Puerto Rico late Tuesday and into Wednesday and most of Hispaniola on Thursday. This storm is projected to move into the southern Bahamas by Friday and will most likely start a northerly turn. There are some variables that could influence the track of Maria from Friday through early next week. Therefore, we are requesting that all persons living along the entire East Coast of the US from Florida to New England monitor this storm’s progress carefully. Use the link below for the National Hurricane Center for official information on all named tropical origin storms.

Named Storm Maria is approximately 400 miles east southeast of the Lesser Antilles, moving westerly, and will reach hurricane strength within 24 hours. This storm is taking a nearly identical track to what Hurricane Irma took two weeks ago. This storm will reach Major Hurricane Strength by mid week as it gets into warmer waters of the northern Caribbean. Named Storm Maria will be affecting the same areas of the western Atlantic and Caribbean as Hurricane Irma did recently, causing more damage and destruction. While it is still too early to predict a storm track past the middle of this coming week, we are requesting that all persons with interests in Florida, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Coast of the US monitor the progress of Named Storm Maria and be prepared.
