Hello to all..
Here is the latest update on the Atlantic Tropics and on Hurricane Bud in the Eastern Pacific.
The latest National Hurricane Center (NHC) Special Tropical Weather Outlook as of 255 PM Friday 5/25/12 is that a broad area of low pressure centered about 275 miles southeast of the coast of Carolinas continues to gradually become better organized with gale force winds northeast to southeast of the center. This system has a high chance, 80 percent, of becoming a tropical or subtropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Coastal Interests from the Carolinas to Northeast Florida should monitor the progress of this system over the Memorial Day Weekend.
Hurricane Bud has weakened considerably and is now a 75 MPH, Category 1 hurricane. Further weakening is expected and the main impacts from Bud over Southwest Mexico are expected to be heavy rainfall and flooding with some pockets of wind damage. Per the NHC advisory, Manzanillo Mexico had sustained winds of 41 MPH with gusts to 55 MPH (Tropical Storm Force) with a personal weather station in Manzanillo reporting 1.76″ of rainfall. The VoIP Hurricane Net and WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio Station at the National Hurricane Center, will not activate for Bud.
