Tropical Storm Henri Forms East of the Leeward Islands – Expected to Be Short Lived

Hello to all..

Tropical Storm Henri has formed about 600 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands and has maximum sustained winds of 40 MPH with higher gusts. Henri is expected to be short lived as it remains in a hostile environment for tropical storm formation and that environment is expected to dissipate Henri in the next 24 to 36 hours as it moves West-Northwest at 18 MPH. Advisory information can be obtained off the VoIPWXNet web site via the Main Menu of the web site and off the National Hurricane Center web site at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov

Tropical Storm Grace Forms in the Far Northeastern Atlantic Ocean

Hello to all..

Tropical Storm Grace has suddenly formed in the far Northeastern Atlantic Ocean. Grace has formed over 400 miles northeast of the Azores Islands. Grace is already over cool waters that are not supportive of a tropical cyclone though Grace has managed to form in the far Northeastern Atlantic and is a small tropical storm. Grace is expected to sustain itself for a short period of time before weakening as it gets over even colder water and is abosrbed by a larger extratropical system. Grace is no threat to any land area. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will continue to monitor the progress of Grace and the rest of the tropical Atlantic. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
