11/12/24 - Invest 99L Likely To Become Hurricane Sara This Week

Hurricane season ends officially on November 30 and while most seasons are quiet in mid November, that will not be the case this year. We are tracking newly tagged Invest 99L in the Caribbean. The NHC states there’s a high chance of development within 48 hours and we will likely have Hurricane Sara by the end of the week. 99L will meander the next several days in the western Caribbean and take advantage of the extremely warm waters there. Early next week, it will begin to track to the west northwest and potentially impact portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and western Cuba. In about a week, most models show this system tracking towards Florida as a potentially powerful hurricane. Check in often the next several days for updates on this system. Premium graphics will become available if it becomes clear this system is a threat to land. Lots of time to watch.

11/4/24 - TS Rafael Forms In The Caribbean, Headed For The Gulf

Tropical Storm Rafael has formed south of Jamaica and is poised to become a hurricane on Wednesday. Winds are expected to peak near 100 mph on Wednesday and could even get stronger than currently forecasted. Multiple watches and warnings are in effect along the projected path including a tropical storm watch for the Florida Keys. Rafael will emerge in the Gulf of Mexico later this week and a sharp increase in southwesterly wind shear, drier air, and slightly cooler waters should induce weakening as Rafael gets closer to the northern Gulf Coast.

11/3/24 - Advisories Issued On Potential Tropical Cyclone 18

The NHC has issued advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone 18 as there’s a high development chance. It should become TS Rafael during the next 24 hours and then a hurricane. It will impact Jamaica, The Cayman Islands and western Cuba during the next few days before it makes it to the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, there’s no imminent threat to the Gulf Coast. However, any potential Gulf threat from this system would be about a 5-6 days away so we will track and watch it closely. Check back periodically for updates on this system. Premium graphics will be available soon for subscribers.
