Tropical Storm Joaquin Headed Our Way - Are You Prepared?

Tropical Storm Juaquin is currently forecast to head up the east coast. Too early to know with any certainty what that means to Vermont, but as always be ready for anything. Always have extra food and water, batteries, flashlights, and other necessities on-hand in case you are ever home bound.

On this Tuesday morning, NHC is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Joaquin, located a few hundred miles northeast of the central Bahamas. Maximum sustained winds are 40 mph.

Elsewhere, a trough of low pressure located over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico between Tampa, Florida and Apalachicola, Florida, continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of the southeastern United States. Strong upper-level winds will likely prevent any significant development of this system before it moves inland over the northern Gulf coast later today, and the Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft scheduled for today has been canceled. Regardless of tropical cyclone development, locally heavy rains are likely over portions of the southeastern United States during the next couple of days.

Elsewhere, a large area of disturbed weather over the central Atlantic several hundred miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands is associated with a frontal trough and the remnants of Ida. Some slow development of this system is possible later this week while it moves slowly west-northwestward.
