The
Tropical Weather Outlook
Katia
is a post tropical cyclone racing across the open North Atlantic
ocean for the British Isles. Maximum sustained winds are 80 mph.
TS
Nate is still slowly moving W at 7 mph. Early this morning,
it was located in the SW Gulf of Mexico at 19.9N x 95.7W. It has
maximum winds of 60 mph. It is still expected to make landfall in
Mexico sometime today.
Maria
remains a very large, storm. This morning, TS Maria was
centered at 19.0N x 63.7W or about 1400 miles NE of us. It is
traveling NW or 315 degrees at 13 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 60
mph.
An
area of disturbed weather located in the Atlantic, a 1000 miles E of
the Lesser Antilles has a 10% chance of developing into a tropical
cyclone in the next 48 hours.
All
interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras
should remain vigilant and continue, to monitor the weather. So far
this year, there have been 14 named storms. It is possible, given the
current overall weather conditions in the Tropical Atlantic, that
there maybe as many as 10 to 14 more named storms, before the
hurricane season officially ends on December 1st.
