Hurricane Maria – Potential VoIP Hurricane Net Activation Friday for Southeast Newfoundland Canada

Hello to all..

Hurricane Maria could potentially impact Southeastern Newfoundland Canada as a hurricane Friday Morning into the afternoon hours. The track this morning which had Maria not impacting Newfoundland changed due to her increase in forward speed and less of a turn further out to sea. Her intensification into a hurricane was expected. This could potentially prompt VoIP Hurricane Net Activation due to the impact on Southeast Newfoundland Canada. Contact has been made with the Canadian Hurricane Centre in Nova Scotia Canada as well as the Amateur Radio Coordinators of WX4NHC, National Hurricane Center concerning Maria. The primary time for net activation would be from late morning through early evening Friday.

While Maria will be traversing colder waters, her very quick forward speed is likely to allow her to maintain hurricane strength into Newfoundland. In addition, high-latitude hurricanes that affect New England and the Canadian Maritimes that forward speed is additive on the eastern side. Places such as St Johns Newfoundland could see very high wind gusts given the forward speed would be additive to Maria’s strong wind field.

An update will be sent tomorrow morning if activation will occur. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
