Yet Another Tropical Storm

Posted on November 22, 2005

Another tropical storm is brewing in the Atlantic Ocean. The next name on the list will be Delta if the National Hurricane Center decides to go ahead and name the storm.

So far they have not even though it looks well organized enough to be a tropical storm. The image on the right shows the system. We placed an arrow on the map to make it easy to spot.

A STRONG AND LARGE NON-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC CENTERED ABOUT 1050 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE AZORES ISLANDS IS MOVING SLOWLY SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD. THIS SYSTEM IS GRADUALLY ACQUIRING TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND COULD BECOME A TROPICAL STORM ON WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS SYSTEM CAN BE FOUND IN HIGH SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFAT1 AND WMO HEADER FZNT01 KWBC.

The National Hurricane Center has held off on naming the storm Delta but they are likely to name this storm eventually if it continues to become more tropical. It looks organized and the winds are probably TS strength or higher.
