Here’s the latest on #HurricaneFlorence, #HurricaneIsaac and #HurricaneHelene.
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Florence, located over the west-central Atlantic Ocean - www.nhc.noaa.gov/#Florence, on Hurricane Helene, located over the eastern Atlantic - www.nhc.noaa.gov/#Helene, and on Hurricane Isaac, located over the central tropical Atlantic - www.nhc.noaa.gov/#Isaac
Elsewhere on this Monday night, showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea, western Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico are associated with a surface trough and are showing some signs of organization. This system is forecast to move slowly northwestward across the Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday with limited development. Upper-level winds are forecast to become more conducive for development later in the week, and a tropical depression could form on Thursday or Friday while the disturbance moves across the western Gulf of Mexico. Interests across northeastern Mexico and the coast of Texas and Louisiana should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall and gusty winds are likely over western Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula through Tuesday.
Also, a non-tropical area of low pressure is forecast to form in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean several hundred miles west-southwest of the Azores in a day or two. Environmental conditions are conducive for some development, and a tropical or subtropical depression could form by the end of the week while the low moves erratically over the northeastern Atlantic Ocean.
