Tropical Storm Ernesto and Atlantic Tropical Update – Thursday 8/9/12 at 8 AM EDT/1200 UTC

Hello to all..

Tropical Storm Ernesto will be making landfall later this morning along the Southern coast of the Bay of Campeche. Ernesto is currently a strong Tropical Storm with maximum sustained winds of 70 MPH. Ernesto could briefly reattain hurricane strength before landfall but its close proximity to the coast, the fact that it is not a hurricane currently and the rural portion of Mexico that it will affect will preclude a formal net activation. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will continue to monitor the progress of Ernesto during the day today. Ernesto will weaken as it tracks over land later this afternoon and tonight. Ernesto Advisory information can be seen off the Main Menu of the Web site and can be seen via the National Hurricane Center web site via the following link:

A low pressure area 1050 miles west of the Southern Cape Verde Islands has a high chance 70% of development into a tropical depression as it moves westward at 15 MPH. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management team will continue to monitor the progress of this system.

The remnants of Florence are located several hundred miles northeast of the Leeward Islands and producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Redevelopment of this system is not expected at this time.

The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will continue to closely monitor the Atlantic Tropics. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
