Named Storm Andrea - 2007
|
|
Nearly a month before the official start of the 2007 Atlantic Hurricane Season and we already have a named storm. This storm is sub tropical - which means that it formed outside of the tropics and is driven by a fairly conventional low pressure area off the Atlantic coast of the Carolinas. It is a "cold core" storm which means that it has little chance to become more intense than it currently is. The winds near the stom's center have been hovering at around 45 to 55 MPH with substantial surf action, beach errosion and significant rip currents from 150 miles northeast of Charleston, South Carolina, all the way to Miami, Florida.
Persons along this section of coastline can expect heavy rains, high wind gusts, and a small possibility of tornado formation.
There is a good aspect to this storm... it will assist firefighters in quencing the many wildfires in Georgia and northern Florida over the next 36 hours.
Persons in the coastal areas as mentioned, should monitor local Media and NOAA weather updates for official news and advisories.
Our next update will take place if any significant changes occur.
