TD-6 Strengthens into Tropical Storm Felix
Hello to all….
At 5 AM EDT, Tropical Depression 6 became Tropical Storm Felix and Felix intensified slightly further in the 8 AM advisory. Felix is bringing tropical storm force conditions to parts of the Southern Windward Islands. Julien-9Z4FZ reports flooding of a street in Tobago with heavy rain and some strong winds over the area as well as Grenada.
Felix is expected to intensify into a hurricane over the next couple days and could potentially affect Belize and parts of Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula area in 3-4 days. Some of these areas are the same parts to be affected by Hurricane Dean a few weeks ago.
The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will continue to closely monitor the progress of Felix over the next few days. There is the potential for additional tropical systems to develop as we approach the peak of hurricane season in mid-September.
Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
