Hurricane Central 2009

[toxictwister00]

I was in Tampa for Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne back in 2004 which luckily was only a category 1 or 2 when it got to my place.

I was affected by both of those Hurricanes, Frances brought a lot of heavy rain and flooding, it was only a depression when it came up into GA, but Jeanne was worse and was a stong tropical storm, it brought a lot of heavy winds and rain, I hated having to walk to school in that, but I just wasn't able to pull off being "sick" that time. Hurricane Ivan was the worse for me that year, it was so bad we even had lightning and thunder off and on the day it arrived! Our basement flooded and our backyard looked like a swamp.

Tropical Storm Blanca has formed this morning in the Eastern Pacific.  It poses no threat to land, so I won't bother putting the advisory here.

Tropical Storm Carlos just formed...could become a hurricane later on...

Tropical Storm Carlos just formed...could become a hurricane later on...

Carlos also poses no threat to land unless it reaches Hawaii, which doesn't happen very often.  With big indications of an El Nino forming, tropical activity in the Atlantic will likely be normal to below normal overall.

TS Carlos' advisory.

I agree Patrick. Possibility that Ana may form very late in the season...maybe late July or early August.

Carlos is now a cat 1 hurricane!!!!!!!

TD #5 in the East Pacific has now become Tropical Storm Dolores.  Meanwhile, the Atlantic is dead quiet.

I still can't believe my eyes when I look at the Eastern Pacific IR Satellite image Carl is showing during the Tropical Update. It shows both TS Dolores and Hurricane Carlos. Dolores looks like a hurricane, and Carlos looks like a tropical wave

I need to memorize the list of names for this year. I thought Diana would be the next named storm but I was wrong.
Anyways, no sign of Ana yet.

Two tropical storms, Enrique and Felicia, formed in the Eastern Pacific over the last fifteen hours and are spinning unusually close to each other.  Both do not pose any immediate threat to land as they head westward.  Meanwhile, the Atlantic is still quiet, but a tropical wave that emerged off the African coast yesterday is being monitored for any possible development.  Stay tuned!

I think things will starting ramping up as early as next week since were heading into the peak weeks of Hurricane Season.

It looks like we can expect Felicia to gain hurricane status soon, possibly as soon as the update at 5 pm EDT.  I am interested to see how these two affect each other, and if Felicia will have any impacts on Hawaii early next week.

Thanks for the update Ryan!

Felicia is a hurricane now, and undergoing rapid intensification and forecast to become a major hurricane.
