TD 14 Now Tropical Storm Milton Expected to Be a Hurricane Tonight – Threatens the Florida Peninsula as a Major Hurricane Late Tuesday into Thursday – VoIP Hurricane Net Activation likely
Hello to all…
Tropical Depression (TD) 14 is now Tropical Storm Milton in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico. It is expected to intensify into Hurricane Milton and threaten Florida Late Tuesday into Thursday Morning as a major hurricane with VoIP Hurricane Net activation likely. Advisories on Milton can be seen off the main menu of the VoIP Hurricane Net web site under Atlantic Tropical Products, via our voipwxnet Facebook and X feeds and via the National Hurricane Center (NHC) web site at the following link:
Residents and Amateur Radio Operators along the west coast of Florida through the Florida Keys should prepare for a major hurricane strike now for the late Tuesday into Thursday Morning timeframe. Any Amateur Radio Operators in the affected area who can connect to our hurricane net during this potential event would be helpful to give surface reports to WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio station at the National Hurricane Center, as needed. Amateur Radio Operators who have relays into people that live in the affected area and can gather surface reports will also be helpful. Activation plans for this system will likely be posted early next week for a middle of next week Hurricane Net Activation.
The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will closely monitor the progress of Milton and any other systems threatening land in the Atlantic Tropics. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
