I am currently monitoring two weather systems in the Atlantic, which have NOT yet reached tropical depression status. One is located near the Bahamas, the other is 900 miles to the east of these islands. Both systems are drifting westnorthwest at 10 mph, and have the potential to develop into tropical depressions.
ADVICE
Anyone living in an area known to be affected by tropical hurricanes should closely monitor the output from the National Hurricane Center in Miami. You get the latest updates from www.nhc.noaa.gov; ideally through an RSS-feed.
Once a tropical depression, storm or hurricane forms, the NHC will issue public advisories on conditions to be expected and action to be taken, and also in which areas. These advisories are updated every 3 to 6 hours, or more frequently if conditions warrant. Separately, forecasts, graphics and wind predictions are also supplied through the same channel.
If you read this and know people living in a hurricane danger zone, please make them aware of this advice. It could save their lives.
