Atlantic Tropical Update – Friday August 22nd 2014 800 AM EDT/1200 UTC
Hello to all..
The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team is currently monitoring a small area of low pressure north of the US Virgin Islands. It is currently disorganized and its proximity to Hispaniola may inhibit development initially but as this system pulls away from Hispaniola and moves into Bahamas, conditions are favorable for this system to organize into a tropical depression or tropical storm. The US Virgin Islands, Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola should closely monitor the progress of this system and could see some gusty winds and heavy rainfall. An Air Force Reserve Unit Hurricane Hunter Aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system this afternoon if necessary and the system has a 60% chance to develop into a tropical depression or tropical storm within 48 hours and an 80% chance in the next 5 days. The Tropical Weather Outlook can be seen off the main menu of the voipwx.net web site and our voipwxnet Facebook and Twitter feeds. It can also be seen via the National Hurricane Center web site via the following link:
The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will closely monitor the progress of this system. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
