The large Caribbean disturbance called Invest 90L is getting better organized. Hurricane Hunters will investigate the system later today to accurately measure the winds and determine if the system is sufficiently organized to be named Tropical Depression Sixteen or Tropical Storm NATE.

An unrelated weak disturbance, the one creating the heavy rain over Florida, will move to the west creating a weakness to the north of the larger, stronger Caribbean disturbance, allowing the possible depression/tropical storm to move toward the Gulf of Mexico. The net result is that the center of the circulation will be somewhere near the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula in the early hours of Saturday.

Over the weekend, the clockwise flow around high pressure off the East Coast will create a path for the system to move north over the Gulf. The exact orientation of that flow and the strength of the high will determine the track of the system. The bottom line: Everyone from Louisiana to Florida needs to stay informed through the weekend.

The system will not have a lot of time to develop, but the waters are plenty warm in the Gulf to allow it to strengthen. Its relatively large diameter might be a bit of a deterrent, however.

In any case, the odds of a well-developed tropical system – possibly a tropical storm or a hurricane – approaching the northern or northeastern Gulf coast late Saturday or Sunday seems fairly high.

Obviously, this will be a fast-developing situation. When the cone comes out it will already include a good part of the Southeast, so be ready to take action along and near the Gulf coast if necessary.

TROPICAL STORM NATE Thursday morning update: The depression we were watching in the Caribbean Sea has intensified into TROPICAL STORM NATE. The further intensification from here will come in fits and starts, but is expected to continue. In any case, the system is on track to move over the extremely warm water of the northwest Caribbean Sea and end up in the southern Gulf of Mexico just north of the Yucatan Peninsula overnight Friday into early Saturday.

From that point, it will drive around the western end of the large high-pressure area over the Atlantic. The strength of that high has everything to do with the exact track north and how fast it moves. If the high is a little stronger, Nate will track a bit farther west along the Gulf coast, toward Mississippi or Louisiana, and move faster. A little weaker, and it stays farther east, toward Florida, and move slower.

An unforecastably different angle will make a tremendous difference in which part of the coast is affected, so don’t look at the National Hurricane Center cone and assure yourself that you’re good if you’re out of the cone. Forecasts for developing systems are notorious for changing, which means the cone can still move.

Also, remember that the cone is designed so that the center of the circulation should stay inside its boundaries about 2/3 of the time. But Nate’s circulation is far bigger than the cone, so there will be effects from bad weather and possibly storm surge well outside.

The strength of the system and the track it takes toward the Gulf Coast are interrelated… and tricky. The circulation will interact with Nicaragua and Honduras today and the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico tomorrow, but in between, the water in the northwest Caribbean is extremely warm and conducive for energizing the storm causing quick strengthening, if it’s not too disrupted by the land. During the day on Saturday, it will be moving north over the Gulf of Mexico, which should give it time to intensify before getting to the coast.

The forecast is for Nate to be at hurricane strength when it reaches the Gulf Coast, but the exact strength is very uncertain. If the system able to main its organization during the interaction with land in Central America, it would have the structure to intensify, possibly significantly, over the Gulf. If, however, it gets disrupted, the intensity would be held down. For now, a Category 1 is forecast, but, as always, plan for a Category 2. With the uncertainty about the land interaction, however, don’t be surprised if it’s as high as a Category 3.

The weather will begin going downhill on the Gulf Coast as early as late Saturday, so today is the day to begin preparing from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. Don’t be surprised if there is a track or intensity-forecast change due to the storms interaction with land and/or time over the super-warm Caribbean.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Heavy rainfall is the main threat from Nate in portions of
Central America, with life-threatening flash flooding and mud slides
possible in portions of Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, and
Belize through Friday night.

2. Nate is forecast to be near hurricane intensity when it
approaches the Yucatan Peninsula late Friday, bringing direct
impacts from wind, storm surge, and heavy rainfall. A tropical storm
warning and a hurricane watch are in effect for a portion of this
area and life-threatening flash flooding is also possible.

3. Nate is forecast to reach the northern Gulf Coast this weekend as
a hurricane, and the threat of direct impacts from wind, storm
surge, and heavy rainfall is increasing. However, it is too early
to specify the exact timing, location, or magnitude of these
impacts. Residents along the Gulf Coast from Louisiana through the
Florida Panhandle should monitor the progress of Nate and heed any
advice given by local officials.

Storm Nate: At least 22 dead in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras

Quote:
Tropical Storm Nate has killed at least 22 people in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras before it moves north towards the US.

A state of emergency has been declared in the Central American nations, where more than 20 people are missing.

It has caused heavy rains, landslides and floods which are blocking roads, destroying bridges and damaging houses.
In Costa Rica, nearly 400,000 people are without running water and thousands are sleeping in shelters.

At least eight people have died in the storm there, while another 11 were killed when it moved north and reached Nicaragua, where as much as 15ins (38cm) of rain had been predicted to fall by the US's National Hurricane Center.
Three people have been killed in Honduras, including two youths who drowned in a river, and several are reported missing.

A state of emergency was declared in 29 Florida counties, and in New Orleans in Louisiana.
The mayor of the city told people who live on low-lying ground to evacuate.
"There is no need to panic," Mitch Landrieu tweeted. "Be ready and prepare. Get a plan. Prepare to protect your personal property."

From National Hurricane Center:
KEY MESSAGES:

1. Nate could be near hurricane intensity when it approaches the
Yucatan Peninsula later today bringing direct impacts from wind,
storm surge, and heavy rainfall. A tropical storm warning and a
hurricane watch are in effect for a portion of this area, and
life-threatening flash flooding is also possible.

2. Life-threatening storm surge flooding is likely along portions of
the northern Gulf Coast, and a storm surge warning has been issued
from Morgan City, Louisiana, to the Alabama/Florida border.
Residents in these areas should heed any evacuation instructions
given by local officials.

3. A hurricane warning has been has been issued for portions of the
northern Gulf Coast from Louisiana to Alabama, and preparations to
protect life and property should be rushed to completion in these
areas.

4. Nate will bring heavy rainfall of 3 to 6 inches with isolated
totals of 12 inches from the central Gulf Coast states into the
eastern Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachians through this
weekend, resulting in the possibility of flash flooding in these
areas.

5. Heavy rainfall from Nate will continue to be a threat in portions
of Central America, with life-threatening flash flooding and mud
slides possible in portions of Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica,
Panama, and Belize through tonight.



From Bryan Norcross Senior Hurricane Specilist at The Weather Channel:
Friday morning update on TROPICAL STORM NATE: Nate is back over the extremely warm water of the Caribbean this morning. The big question is whether Nate is still organized enough to take advantage of the energy from the water and strengthen. Warm water alone is not sufficient. A tropical system needs an organized core as well, and Nate was likely somewhat disrupted by its trek over Central America. Today will be the big day to see if the storm strengthens.

The center of the tropical storm is expected to be just off the northern Yucatan coast just after midnight tonight, and then it will begin its run toward the northern Gulf coast. The storm is going to come on fast as the flow from the south increases. The speedy movement will mean that the impacts of the storm will spread out to the east (the right side) even more than usual, and be less on the left side. So do not focus on the width of the cone. High winds and storm surge will extend well to the east of the cone's edge.

Hurricane watches are in now in effect from just west of New Orleans to the Alabama/Florida border, meaning hurricane-force winds are possible there. The possibility of winds over 40 mph extend on either side of that area.

Dangerous storm surge is also a threat near and to the east of where the Nate’s center comes ashore.

Today is preparation day in the threatened areas. All preparations need to be completed by midday tomorrow. There is some chance there might be time tomorrow afternoon as well, but we can’t be 100% sure about that. There are indications the storm might move faster than the cone shows. See the National Hurricane Center timing map tomorrow to be sure you are ready for strong winds by the time indicated.

Here are 20 ideas for preparation that we used for Hurricane Irma, plus a number sent in by readers of these posts. They are the things you should think about in the affected areas along the Gulf coast. This storm is not expected to be as strong as we feared Irma might be, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.

1. Try to get LED flashlights and lanterns. They last much longer. Have at least one flashlight for every person in your family, and ideally have a lantern or two for general lighting.

2. Get a portable radio and plenty of batteries so your whole family can listen to news coverage if the power goes out. Do NOT depend on your cellphone for communications.

3. If there is a chance of the storm damaging your home, take photos today of every room, every piece of electronics, and everything valuable. Upload the pictures to the cloud – Dropbox, Microsoft Cloud, iCloud, Google Drive, etc.

4. Also take photos of key documents and upload them as well. You can do that today.

5. Save your contacts in your phone to the cloud. If you don’t know how to do that, frame grab your screen or have someone take photos of your contacts with their phone and email or text the pictures back to you to a friend. Don’t take a chance on losing your contacts if something happens to your phone.

6. If you are concerned about damage to your home, secure your photographs and albums in double plastic bags.

7. Keep your important documents in gallons-size (or larger) Ziploc bags. Put larger items in double large trash bags cocooned so the opening of the first bag is in the bottom of the second bag. Put some clothes in plastic bags in case you get a roof leak. Duct tape bags closed. Put valuables on a high shelf in a closet if flooding is a threat.

8. Think now about where you are going to park your car. A parking garage is ideal. Outside in a low-lying area or under a tree is the worst. Think about all of the cars you’ve seen ruined in storms because people made bad choices about where they parked the car before the storm. When we know the storm track, we’ll have a better idea which side of a building will give the best protection. Next to a building on the downwind side gives you the best chance if you have to leave your car outside.

9. Do your laundry and wash your dishes before the storm. Buy some clothesline and clothes pins. You might not have power to dry clothes after the storm.

10. Your dishwasher is an excellent “safe” in your house if you need someplace to put valuables. Your washer and dryer can offer good protection as well. These could be good places to put your bagged-up photos, for example.

11. Fill Ziploc bags ¾ full of water and stuff them in your freezer to fill up the space IMMEDIATELY. It takes time for them to freeze. If you don’t have time for them to freeze, fill bags with ice. You can also put plastic bottles filled about 90% with water in the freezer. The less air you have in the freezer, the longer your refrigerator will stay cold if your power goes out. Do NOT turn your refrigerator to any lower setting than normal – that can damage the unit.

12. Buy a plastic sheet – the kind you’d use as a drop cloth for painting – to line your bath tub. Line the bath tub and fill it with water before the storm. You’ll use this water to flush the toilet if the city water goes out. A sauce pan is a good scoop. Fill the tank and your toilet will work like normal.

13. Get gas and cash.

14. Think about what you will sit on if you are going to do to entertain yourself and the kids if you are stuck at home because a tree is blocking your street.
15. Be sure you have an adapter so you can charge your cellphone in a car, have extra chargers, and back-up batteries if you can.

16. Pick up your yard and anything that might blow in the wind. Bring in pool or patio furniture. Don’t put it in the water because it can damage the pool.

17. Consider buying an indoor antenna for your TV if you have cable. If the cable is out, but you have power, you will still be able to see local TV. Program your TV before the storm so the channels are all set up.

18. Have lots of towels ready to put around the windows and doors.

19. I recommend an AM/FM portable radio so you can keep up with news coverage.

20. Don’t forget your prescriptions. And if you leave home, take a list of your prescriptions with you.

From Bryan Norcross:

“SATURDAY MORNING update on HURRICANE STORM NATE: Nate has organized and strengthened overnight, and the process is expected to continue as the storm races over the Gulf of Mexico. Impact on the northern Gulf coast will come late tonight, near or just after midnight.

Predicting exactly how strong Nate will be at landfall continues to be a challenge, but the suggestion made here over the last couple days that people should be ready for a Category 2 seems correct. Top winds are estimated at 85 mph this morning, and there is time for some strengthening.

Because Nate is moving so fast, the winds will slowly spin down, and continue to blow hard as the storm moves inland across Mississippi, Alabama, and northern Georgia. Power outages could be a significant problem. Some tornadoes are also likely to the east of the track of the storm.

The threat of the Gulf water being pushed over the coastline at dangerous depths is high. The northern Gulf coast is extremely vulnerable to storm surge. Any hurricane can produce life-threatening surge in vulnerable locations, even a Category 1. The stronger the storm is, the more areas that are threatened.

The National Hurricane Center is forecasting the storm surge to reach 5 to 9 feet above normally dry ground in low-lying areas along from extreme southeastern Louisiana through Mississippi and Alabama. Dangerous surge will affect the Florida Panhandle and other parts of southeastern Louisiana as well.

There will be huge difference in the impacts from Nate to the right (the east) versus the left of where the center comes ashore. The storm’s rapid forward speed adds to the forward motion of the air on the right side and subtracts on the left accounting for the difference. This means that the exact landfall point is critical to who gets the worst of the wind and surge. The best evidence is that landfall will be to the east of New Orleans. While it’s still possible the worst winds will affect the city, it is very likely that most of Mississippi, Alabama, and the western Florida Panhandle will get the push of storm surge and strong winds off the water. The worst, of course, will be those areas closest and within about 25 miles of the center, though major effects will occur much farther east than that.

This is it – the last chance for people on the Gulf coast and inland in the path of the high winds to prepare. The winds will pick up at the coast by evening and peak overnight. Conditions will quickly improve at the coast on Sunday as the strong winds rapidly spread north through the day. The surge will not necessarily peak with the strongest winds.

Heavy rain will accompany the remnants of Nate as it tracks across the South toward the Northeast.

Be aware of all local instructions and information, which will change if the storm rapidly strengthens or changes course.

Here are 20 ideas for preparation that we used for Hurricane Irma, plus a number sent in by readers of these posts. They are the things you should think about in the affected areas along the Gulf coast and inland where the winds could be a threat. Not all preparation steps are necessary for all areas, but they are good to know and think about.

1. Do NOT park your car under a tree or in an area that could flood. Put it in a safe place even if you have to walk home. A parking garage is the best, on a floor above the ground.

2. Try to get LED flashlights and lanterns. They last much longer. Have at least one flashlight for every person in your family, and ideally have a lantern or two for general lighting.

3. Get a portable radio and plenty of batteries so your whole family can listen to news coverage if the power goes out. Do NOT depend on your cellphone for communications.

4. If there is a chance of the storm damaging your home, take photos today of every room, every piece of electronics, and everything valuable. Upload the pictures to the cloud – Dropbox, Microsoft Cloud, iCloud, Google Drive, etc.

5. Also take picture of key documents and upload them as well. You can still do that today.

6. Save your contacts in your phone to the cloud. If you don’t know how to do that, frame grab your screen or have someone take photos of your contacts with their phone and email or text the pictures back to you to a friend. Don’t take a chance on losing your contacts if something happens to your phone.

7. If you are concerned about damage to your home, secure your photographs and albums in double plastic bags.
8. Keep your important documents – including passports and birth certificates - in gallons-size (or larger) Ziploc bags. Put larger items in double large trash bags cocooned so the opening of the first bag is in the bottom of the second bag. Put some clothes in plastic bags in case you get a roof leak. Duct tape bags closed. Put valuables on a high shelf in a closet if flooding is a threat.

9. Do your laundry and wash your dishes before the storm. Buy some clothesline and clothes pins. You might not have power to dry clothes after the storm.

10. Your dishwasher is an excellent “safe” in your house if you need someplace to put valuables. Your washer and dryer can offer good protection as well. These could be good places to put your plastic-bagged photos, for example.

11. If you have not yet filled Ziploc bags ¾ full of water and stuffed them in your freezer to fill up the space, it’s too late. They won’t freeze. Instead, fill bags with ice and fill your freezer the best you can. The less air you have in the freezer, the longer your refrigerator will stay cold if your power goes out. Do NOT turn your refrigerator to any lower setting than normal – that can damage the unit.

12. Buy a plastic sheet – the kind you’d use as a drop cloth for painting – to line your bath tub. Line the bath tub and fill it with water before the storm.

18. Have lots of towels ready to put around the windows and doors.

19. Check the shopping list attached below from Brevard County, Florida. It’s good, except I recommend an AM/FM portable radio so you can keep up with news coverage.

20. Don’t forget your prescriptions. And if you leave home, take a list of your prescriptions with you.

SATURDAY EVENING update on HURRICANE NATE: Nate’s initial outer band has moved over the Louisiana and Mississippi coast. The strongest winds are just offshore and will move over the land later this evening as the storm races toward the coast. Nate is the fastest moving Gulf storm in the record book.

The fast movement will have a number of effects. First, it will unbalance the storm, so the impact of the wind and storm surge will be much greater to the right (east) of where the center comes ashore than to the left. Second, while heavy rain and some inland flooding are expected, the total will be held down because the storm will come and go fairly quickly. But third, the strong gusts will move farther inland before the winds calm down due to friction with the ground. Widespread power outages are expected along the path of Nate.

Tornadoes are also a possibility to the right of Nate’s path. Nate’s fast motion increases the chance of tornadoes.
Nate’s peak winds have leveled off at 90 mph, and may have decreased a bit. It can’t be totally ruled out that Nate would intensify a bit more, but it is becoming less likely. The storm is running out of time.

While Nate’s strong winds will do some damage, knock down trees, and cause power outages, the biggest threat will be from the storm surge – the Gulf water rising over the land – along the coast and along coastal bays and waterways. The storm surge will be highest around bays and inlets where the wind will push the water inland, and hold it there while more water pushes in. Rain trying to drain to the sea will add to the flood potential.

The worst weather should reach the Gulf coast – likely on the Mississippi coast – around midnight or a bit before. The center may, however, pass over extreme southeastern Louisiana well southeast and east of New Orleans before that. Though everyone in the Hurricane Warning area should remain vigilant until the storm has past.
