SouthEast US Coast being impacted by a tropical cyclone???? -- Be Prepared and increase your level of awareness to local forecast and NHC

NHC Tropical Weather outlook from Thursday, Sept 12

For the last few days, a trough of low pressure associated with an easterly wave has been impacting the Bahamas with rain.  This disturbance was forecast to move into the Gulf of Mexico.  However, last night's 0000 model runs show a radical shift in the trajectory of the storm.  The Canadian and European models show the storm moving up East Coast instead of entering into the Gulf.  This is a potentially bad situation for those living in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina.  We will have to see if the models continue this trend or not. The timing of such an event, if it occurred would be over the next 5 days.  This means that there is ample time to prepare if such an event does occur.  This morning's guidance shows that the trajectories are split between the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast.

Thursday Morning Guidance 

The main point is that you should be storing water and non-perishables!!   Please pay close attention to your local weather person and the National Hurricane Center  if you live in Florida through North Carolina. 

Regardless of this tropical disturbance, the waves coming off of Africa are active and that there is a higher likelihood of some tropical disturbances developing. 

Be Vigilant during the Hurricane Season.
