..Josephine is no threat to land at the present time and forecast to remain at tropical storm strength..

Hurricane Hanna is expected to impact the Carolinas as a hurricane late Friday Afternoon into Saturday Morning. Hanna, currently a large tropical storm, could intensify into a hurricane later on Thursday or Friday and is expected to make landfall in Southeast North Carolina. While Hanna may weaken slightly over North Carolina, Hanna is likely to maintain strong tropical storm status as it works its way up the US East Coast through the Delmarva and New Jersey with the potential for Hanna to impact these regions through Southern New England as a strong tropical storm.

The VoIP Hurricane Net will likely be activated some time Friday Afternoon or Evening and is likely to stay active through Satutrday. The weekly net Saturday Evening will likely be preempted by Hanna’s impact on the US East Coast.

Ike is now a major hurricane at Category 4 intensity. Ike is still over open waters but could impact portions of the Bahamas as a major hurricane towards the latter half of the weekend. Ike’s impact on the US East Coast is uncertain and will not be until some next week.

Josephine has formed in the Open Atlantic. Josephine is expected to maintain tropical storm status over the open waters of the Atlantic and is no immediate threat to any land area.

No other areas of disturbed weather are currently being monitored in the Atlantic at this time. The VoIP Hurricane Net will continue to monitor closely Hanna, Ike and Josephine.
