Tropical Storm Ana Forms in the Atlantic & Tropical Atlantic Update
Hello to all…
The first Atlantic Tropical Storm of the season has formed. TD #2 is now Tropical Storm Ana. Ana’s current track and intensity forecast brings her through portions of the Leeward Islands and potentially affecting Puerto Rico as a tropical storm between Monday and Tuesday. A Tropical Storm Watch may be required for the Leeward Islands later today. Ana will then be moving into the Bahamas region some time between Tuesday and Wednesday with the possibility of some impact on Florida by late Wednesday into Thursday. The current intensity forecast keeps Ana a tropical storm during the entire period but there is potential for Ana to become a hurricane in the mid to latter portions of the forecast period. Also, please note that forecasts 3-5 days out have a wide track variance and could change significantly. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will monitor this system closely.
In addition, a large tropical wave in the Central-Eastern Atlantic is becoming better organized and could become Tropical Depression #3. This system will be over the open Atlantic for the next several days. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will closely monitor this system as well.
The Atlantic Tropics are becoming more active. Anyone along the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of the US and in Mexico, Central America, Cuba and the Caribbean islands should be monitoring the tropics closely and preparing their plans to protect their home and family and be prepared to relay reports if one of these tropical systems affect your area. Further updates will be posted as needed. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
