This is a special Tropical Disturbance Statement issued today by the National Hurricane Center. I certainly hope it ends up being nothing, but I thought that this weekend's cruisers might want to know and keep an eye on things!
Special Tropical Disturbance Statement
11:30 a.m., Thursday, May 23
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACCOMPANIED BY NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS FORMED IN THE NORTHWEST CARIBBEAN SEA BETWEEN JAMAICA AND THE CAYMAN ISLANDS. HEAVY RAINFALL HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN CUBA AND JAMAICA, AND LOCALIZED FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED IN THESE AREAS TODAY AND TONIGHT.
RECENT SATELLITE DATA AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED AND SOME ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE DURING THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. SEVERAL COMPUTER MODELS INDICATE THAT THIS SYSTEM COULD AFFECT CUBA, THE BAHAMAS AND POSSIBLY SOUTH FLORIDA OVER THE WEEKEND. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM FRIDAY AFTERNOON, IF NECESSARY.
ALL INTERESTS IN THE NORTHWEST CARIBBEAN SEA, THE BAHAMAS AND FLORIDA SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM AND PRODUCTS FROM YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS DISTURBANCE COULD DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AICRAFT WILL INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM LATER TODAY.
