Atlantic Tropical Update as of 11 AM Sunday 7/13/08

Hello to all…

A few updates on the Atlantic Tropics since last night. Bertha has been downgraded to tropical storm status as of 8 AM ET this morning. Bertha has started to move very slowly to the northwest this morning and this may bring Bertha closer to Bermuda than currently predicted but is now weaker in intensity. Recon will be investigating Bertha later today. The VoIP Net Management team continues to monitor Bertha but activation of our net remains unlikely for Bertha.

We now have 2 additional areas of disturbed weather being monitored that were not in the tropical weather outlook from the National Hurricane Center in last night’s tropical briefing. One area is about 130 miles southeast of Charleston, South Carolina and is currently moving northeast. The second area is about 1600 miles east of the Southern Windward islands. Both have the potential for additional development and will be monitored by the VoIP Hurricane Net Management team.

Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
