We haven’t had to really concern ourselves much about the tropics over the last few years, but this weekend could be a time to really pay attention. Firstly, if you have vacation plans for this weekend on the Outer Banks or perhaps South Carolina, you may end up having your plans altered unfortunately. And [...] NBC has a new show hosted by Cedric the Entertainer called “It’s Worth What?” where the contestants guess which objects are more expensive than others. In the weather department, we do that with weather disasters. Let’s play: Which has cost more? Hurricane Ivan (2004) or Hurricane Ike (2008) What about this? Blizzard of ’93 [...] Here’s the latest on Hurricane Ike from the National Hurricane Center. Latest Track / Details on Ike …IKE BACK OVER WATER…RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT CURRENTLY APPROACHING… AT 200 PM EDT…1800 UTC…THE GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICA HAS DISCONTINUED THE TROPICAL STORM WARNING FOR THAT ISLAND. A HURRICANE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE CUBAN PROVINCES OF GUANTANAMO… [...] No graphic with this one because the storm has only moved to the west a little bit. Here’s the latest public advisory from the National Hurricane Center. (Link Here) Ike… …MAJOR HURRICANE IKE APPROACHING THE NORTH COAST OF EASTERN CUBA… A HURRICANE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE CUBAN PROVINCES OF GUANTANAMO… SANTIAGO DE [...] Well, the tropics have died down a little bit. Maybe Ike’s been taking all of the energy for itself and not sharing with the other little boys and girls out there looking to grow up to be big storms. (kidding). Either way, it has slowed down, with the exception of Ike. Click the link below for graphics and the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. This continues to look more and more like a non-event for most of us in the Alleghenies. The area that needs watching is to the east. The good news is that the latest run (12z) of Futurecast is printing out a little less rain for Harrisburg and Lancaster. Take a look at the graphic [...] It’s been a couple of days since the last hurricane update, so here we go. Right now, we’re still watching Hanna, but it looks like that will be a miss for us in the Alleghenies. Ike continues his westward progression, with an eventual shift a little north. Josephine is still out there… and I mean out there! More details inside the post. Since last night, there’s been a lot of changes to the current tropical systems. Gustav has had it’s last advisory issued about it. Remember, you can read about the advisories on the NHC website. I’ll link to that later. Hanna is now a tropical storm, as is Ike. We’ve also seen the creation of tropical storm Josephine. We’ve got graphics, projected paths, and more below the page break. Click in to continue with the hurricane discussion. Since we last spoke, we’ve seen the development of yet another storm in the Atlantic… Ike! We’ll be watching Tropical Storm Ike over the next few days to learn his moves. We’ve also seen an increase in intensity with Hanna. She’s now expected to hit somewhere along the Georgia, Florida, South Carolina coast as a category 2 hurricane. Gustav continues to weaken and that’s certainly good news.
