Atlantic Tropical Update – Sunday 8/14/11 – Tropical Storm Gert Forms and Franklin is Now Post-Tropical
Hello to all..
Late Saturday Evening, Tropical Depression (TD) #7 formed and as of 2 PM ET Sunday, TD #7 has become Tropical Storm Gert, the 7th Tropical Storm of the Atlantic Season. Gert is expected to impact Bermuda as a Tropical Storm and a Tropical Storm Warning has been posted for Bermuda. Tropical Storm conditions are expected on Bermuda late tonight into Monday Morning. Gert is not expected to reach hurricane strength and after impact on Bermuda, he is expected to only be a threat to shipping interests. Nonetheless, the VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will closely monitor the progress of Gert.
Franklin has become post-tropical over the North Atlantic. The post-tropical remnants will only be a threat to shipping interests.
Another trough of low pressure is situated 425 miles north-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. At this time, this system doesn’t have a closed circulation and its development is being impeded by its close proximity to Tropical Storm Gert. Nonetheless, this system has a medium chance, 30 percent, of becoming a tropical cyclone and it will be monitored.
The system furthest south that was a few hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands has diminished and is currently no longer expected to develop. This system is no longer mentioned in National Hurricane Center Tropical Weather Outlooks.
The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will continue to closely monitor the Atlantic Tropics. The Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook and advisory information on Tropical Storm Gert can be seen on the voipwx.net web site under Atlantic Tropical Products. The outlook and Gert advisories can also be seen at the National Hurricane Center web site at the following link:
