...INTERESTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR TROPICAL WAVE...
THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 170 MILES EAST-NORTHEAST OF THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS HAS CONTINUED TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED TODAY AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 MPH. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO AFFECT SOUTH FLORIDA MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND THERE IS A CHANCE THAT IT COULD DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OR EVEN TROPICAL STORM BEFORE THEN. INTERESTS ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR STATEMENTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE IN MIAMI IN CASE THIS SYSTEM DEVELOPS. STAY TUNED TO YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLET FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
Looks like rain.
Wait a second -- advance warning from the NHC on a storm that's not even named yet??!! Stunning. I guess they may actually be using the lessons from Katrina... yeah, Accuweather has been watching this for a week or so -- suspicion there is that this (Lee?) will cross Florida and go into the Gulf.
uhhmmm...
Lee? I thought it was Phillipe.
Katrina didn't turn into a hurricane until it was right off the coast of Ft Lauderdale.
My wife and I were talking about this last night, when the next few hurricanes approach land, the people here are going to go nuts (S.FL).
It can't be an L. We already have an O.
It is Phillippe. And next -- soon -- will be Rita.
Do you have a link with models showing it going into the gulf?
I always thought the hurricanes were named by alphebet and have been wondering why we went from K to O. Does anyone know?
The NHC has been watching this wave for just as long as Accuweather, I can assure you. In fact, they update this and all tropical wave development twice a day through their "Tropical Weather Outlook" which is linked off of their home page. The NHC does not need to learn any lessons from Accuweather.
There were several out there. I remember a Nate.
Duh - yeah - sorry, I got to typing too quick!!
We do go through the alphabet in order, skipping letters which have few names associated with them. The list, therefore, is 21 names long. After Katrina...Lee...Maria...and Nate formed in the Atlantic. But, luckily, they did not impact land.
I don't have a models link since it's hardly showing up on anyone's runs yet (being 'just' a tropical wave at this point). Accuweather is suggesting that it will cross extreme South Florida on Monday or Tuesday as a Hurricane.
...And we actually DID already have Lee, Maria, and Nate already -- but these weren't a threat to the US.
And I'm sorry for nit-picking. I hate when people do that.:')
Autumn is in the air here. Four months of warm weather out of 12!
