SubTropical Storm Gabrielle Forms off the Southeast US Coast
Hello to all….
SubTropical Storm Gabrielle has formed off the Southeast US Coast of the United States. Gabrielle is expected to make the full transition to a tropical storm and potentially affect portions of the Eastern North Carolina and South Carolina coasts with tropical storm force conditions and a Tropical Storm Watch has been posted for portions of this area. At this time, Gabrielle is not expected to reach hurricane strength at this time but it will be monitored closely.
After affecting the Carolinas, the system is expected to pass south of the 40 N/70 W “benchmark” position. If this track holds, this would spare any direct impact for Southern New England but the track, speed and intensity will need to be watched closely for Southern New England and any impact for this area as track guidance out 4-5 days can be subject to large errors.
From the National Hurricane Center web site glossary, a Subtropical storm or cyclone is as follows:
A non-frontal low pressure system that has characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones. Gabrielle at this time has characteristics of both types of systems (Tropical and Subtropical) but is expected to make a transition to a fully tropical system over the next day or so.
Gabrielle Advisories and Satellite Imagery can be found on the VoIPWXNet web site by going to http://www.voipwx.net and click Atlantic Tropical Products from the Main Menu and links for the Gabrielle Advisories and Satellite imagery will appear. You can also go direct to the National Hurricane Center web site at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov
The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will continue to closely monitor the progress of Gabrielle. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
