TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK 800 AM EDT MON OCT 13 2008
The end of the hurricane season is in sight - but that doesn't mean we are out of the woods yet for 2008. There are a couple of areas of concern out there in the moment - one already a storm and another with the potential to become one soon:
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL STORM NANA...LOCATED ABOUT 1015 MILES WEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS.
1. SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD BE FORMING IN THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA ABOUT 275 MILES SOUTH OF THE EASTERN TIP OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND IF THIS TREND CONTINUES...ADVISORIES WILL BE INITIATED LATER TODAY. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM IS ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY WINDS AND A LARGE AREA OF HEAVY RAINS WHICH COULD PRODUCE LIFE THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES. THESE CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO SPREAD OVER PUERTO RICO...THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND A PORTION OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...AND INTERESTS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM. FOR INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...PLEASE CONSULT STATEMENTS ISSUED BY YOUR LOCAL WEATHER OFFICE.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
PUBLIC ADVISORIES ON NANA ARE ISSUED UNDER WMO HEADER WTNT34 AND UNDER AWIPS HEADER MIATCPAT4. FORECAST/ADVISORIES ON NANA ARE ISSUED UNDER WMO HEADER WTNT24 AND UNDER AWIPS HEADER MIATCMAT4.
