Tropical Depression (TD) 1 Forms in the Atlantic
Hello to all..
Tropical Depression (TD) 1 has formed in the Atlantic. TD 1 has formed in the Atlantic about 105 miles east-southeast of Cape Canaveral Florida. The proximity of TD 1 near the coast of Florida has prompted the issuance of a Tropical Storm Watch from Fort Pierce Florida to just south of Flagler Beach Florida. TD 1 is expected to gradually strengthen into a tropical storm. If this happens as expected, TD 1 would be named Arthur.
The track of TD 1 is a bit uncertain. It will slow down and gradually turn west, northwest and northward over the next couple of days and then begin to turn northeast and accelerate. At this time, TD 1 is expected to be just below hurricane strength at its peak intensity in 72 hours. How close this system comes to the US East Coast and its interaction with a front approaching the US east coast leads to uncertainty on impacts to the US east coast. Some computer weather models indicate the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding in the US Mid Atlantic and possibly the Northeast US as we get closer to the end of this week but its unclear on which areas would be impacted the most.
Advisories on TD 1 can be seen off the Main Menu of the voipwx.net web site and through our Facebook and Twitter feeds under voipwxnet. They can also be seen at the National Hurricane Center web site via the following link:
