Named Storm Lisa – 2022 developed in the south central Caribbean from a Tropical Depression. This storm is moving generally westerly and will be affecting southeastern Mexico with high winds and heavy rain by Wednesday afternoon, November 02. Since this storm system will probably not be affecting the US, this may be our only mention of Named Storm Lisa – 2022.

Named Storm Karl – 2022 developed over the southern Gulf of Mexico from a Tropical Low Pressure Area. This storm is currently in the far southwestern Gulf of Mexico moving generally westerly. This storm will be in an area where the possibility of strengthening is low. Because of the projected track of this storm into eastern Mexico with a low chance of US involvement, this will probably be our only mention of Named Storm Karl -2022.

We will add unofficial updates if conditions change.

Named Storm Julia reached Hurricane Category 1 strength just before landfall in Nicaragua early October 9. This storm has been steered more west southwest over the past 24 hours and if it survives going over the mountains in that area, it may emerge in the eastern Pacific. Since this storm no longer poses a direct threat at this time, to the US, this will be our final post on Named Storm Julia – 2022.

Named Storm Julia – 2022 formed from a Tropical Depression just off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean. This storm has the potential to intensify fairly rapidly and will be moving generally westerly making a landfall in northern Central America on October 9. If this storm stays on it’s current path, it may cross over into the Eastern Pacific, however, several international tracking models are showing a slight northerly shift and possibly getting into the southern Gulf of Mexico after Monday or Tuesday October 10-11. We are carefully monitoring the progress of this storm and will post additional unofficial updates as needed.

October 3, 2022 and things are “moderately quiet” in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. As our volunteer TSRC staff monitors all storm formation areas, we would like to provide the NHC web link for resources and other informative information.

Named Storm Ian – 2022 – has been one for the record books. There have been deaths and there has been destruction. We will not mention specific information about damage and casualties, because those numbers are still dynamic, as search, rescue and recovery efforts are still under way.

We will say that persons who did not heed the mandatory evacuation orders are mainly the ones who are casualties. We hope that this fact will not be ignored in future storms of this nature.

This is the final posting for Named Storm Ian – 2022.

After causing extreme destruction from the Central Gulf Coast of Florida across the state to the northeast, Named Storm Ian is emerging into the Atlantic near Jacksonville, Florida. “Ian” is currently a Tropical Storm and has caused catastrophic damage and flooding in Florida. Persons from the Atlantic Coast of Florida northward along the Coasts of Georgia, South and North Carolina and into Virginia should be monitoring the progress of this storm very carefully.

“Ian” had been nearly a Category 5 Hurricane and still has enough energy as a strong Tropical Storm to do more damage along the southeastern US coastline.

Named Storm Ian – 2022 Update, Monday, September 26, 2022. 

This storm made Hurricane status early Monday, September 26, and is undergoing an intensification cycle as it starts it’s northerly turn. As this Hurricane leaves the western Caribbean and enters the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, it will most likely strengthen into a Major Hurricane. It’s projected track will be along the Gulf Coast of Florida, just off shore. This is a worse case scenario because of the flood prone areas that will be affected by Storm Surge to the east of the center of this storm.

Persons from the Florida Keys all the way north to Panama City and possibly even Pensacola, should be monitoring Emergency Government Orders and follow those orders immediately. Not only will there be storm surge, but this slow moving, large Hurricane has the potential to produce huge amounts of rain. Totals could exceed 18 inches of rain in some areas. Persons along the Gulf Coast of Florida will be affected the most, but ALL PERSONS in Florida will be impacted in some way by this Hurricane. Florida Gulf Coast residents may experience extremely heavy rain, extremely high winds with building damage or destruction, extreme storm surge, catastrophic flooding, intense waves and tornadoes.  

If you are in a flood zone and are given mandatory evacuation orders by your Emergency Government Office, follow those orders immediately. Your life may depend on it.

Named Storm Ian – 2022 formed in the south central Caribbean from Tropical Depression #9. This storm is moving generally westerly across the southern Caribbean. Because of the very warm waters in that part of the Caribbean, this storm has the potential to rapidly develop, because these storms feed off of the warm waters that they travel over.

We are watching this system very carefully because it has the potential to get in to the southeastern Gulf of Mexico early this coming week where the water is shallower and even warmer. Persons in all Gulf Coast states, especially Florida, should be monitoring this storm very carefully. Early tracking models from international agencies are showing a Florida Gulf Coast landfall as a Major Category 3 (or above) Hurricane near Tampa Bay, Florida, Wednesday, September 28. HOWEVER, there are some weather features over the southern US that could interact with this storm and change this projected location and timing. We will update our unofficial information as conditions change. For now, persons in the entire State of Florida, Coastal Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana should be monitoring local Emergency Government news releases and follow their orders.

Named Storm Hermine – 2022 formed just off the west coast of Africa from Tropical Depression # 10. This storm is projected to move generally north, following the western Africa coastline where it will encounter unfavorable atmospheric conditions and will decrease in strength rather rapidly.

This storm will not affect the US in any way, so this will be our only mention of Named Storm Hermine. However, please watch for unofficial information soon concerning Tropical Depression # 9, which will most likely become Named Storm Ian. Tropical Depression # 9 is currently in the south central Caribbean and will be affecting the Gulf Coast of the US and especially Florida around September 27 or 28.
