Hello to all..

SubTropical Storm Melissa has formed in the Central Atlantic. Melissa is located 695 miles east-southeast of Bermuda with Maximum Sustained Winds of 50 MPH and a large circulation with winds extending 275 miles mainly northwest through northeast of the center. Melissa will move northwest until Tuesday and then begin moving north and then northeastward over the next few days. Melissa will have a chance to strengthen a bit more and likely will transition to a tropical storm over the next 48 hours. Melissa is not expected to threaten any land areas and should only be a threat to Marine interests.

Advisory information on Melissa can be seen off the Main Menu of the VoIP Hurricane web site at http://www.voipwx.net and the VoIP Hurricane Net Facebook and Twitter feeds auto update when new advisory information as issued by the National Hurricane Center. The links for our facebook and twitter feeds follow below:

As always, the latest National Hurricane Center can also be seen via the National Hurricane Center web site at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov

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

Hello to all..

Exactly one year ago today, the VoIP Hurricane Net was active as Hurricane Sandy was causing significant impact particularly in the New York City, Long Island and New Jersey region but also across much of the Mid-Atlantic and Southern New England areas with hurricane force wind gusts, historic coastal storm surge flooding as well as heavy rainfall and even Blizzard conditions out into West Virginia. The following special announcement was created with a focus on Sandy’s impacts in Southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic region including New York City, Long Island and New Jersey. It can be seen at the following link:

http://www.wx1box.org/node/3362

We are thankful that this year has been a quiet Hurricane Season to date and we hope it remains that way through season’s end on November 30th, 2013. Thanks to everyone that supported Hurricane Sandy operations one year ago today and for your continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
