For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. This is a life-threatening situation. Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A Storm Surge Watch means there is a possibility of life- threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours. For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the disturbance was centered near latitude 32.3 North, longitude 75.6 West. The system is moving toward the north near 12 mph (19 km/h). A north to north-northwest motion is expected during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of the low will approach the coast of North Carolina tonight, and then move across eastern North Carolina, southeastern Virginia, and the Delmarva Peninsula Saturday and Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast before landfall, and the low is expected to become a tropical storm before it reaches the coast of North Carolina. Regardless of whether it becomes a tropical storm, the system is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km) from the center. NOAA buoy 41025 at Diamond Shoals, North Carolina, recently reported a sustained wind of 40 mph (65 km/h) and a gust of 51 mph (83 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations is 996 mb (29.42 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for this system can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1, WMO header WTNT41 KNHC, and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT1.shtml STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Neuse and Bay Rivers...3-5 ft Pamlico and Pungo Rivers...3-5 ft Chesapeake Bay south of Colonial Beach...2-4 ft Surf City, NC to Chincoteague, VA...2-4 ft Albemarle Sound...2-4 ft South Santee River, SC to Surf City, NC...1-3 ft Chincoteague, VA to Manasquan Inlet, NJ...1-3 ft Upper Chesapeake Bay...1-3 ft Delaware Bay...1-3 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are reaching portions of the North Carolina coast within the warning area and will spread northward through Saturday. RAINFALL: The system is forecast to produce 3 to 5 inches of rainfall, with localized amounts of 7 inches across portions of eastern North Carolina and southeast Virginia from today into Saturday. Across remaining portions of the Mid-Atlantic into southern New England, 2 to 4 inches of rainfall are forecast from later today into Sunday. This rainfall may produce flash, urban, and small stream flooding impacts. SURF: Swells generated by this system will affect much of the east coast of the United States through this weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible beginning tonight through Saturday for portions of the mid-Atlantic Coast. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 PM EDT. Next complete advisory at 500 PM EDT. $$ Forecaster Reinhart

Issued at 1100 AM EDT Fri Sep 22 2023000 WTNT41 KNHC 221453 TCDAT1 Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL162023 1100 AM EDT Fri Sep 22 2023 Surface observations indicate the low pressure system off the southeast U.S. coast is deepening this morning. Recent pressure and wind data from NOAA buoy 41002 suggest the pressure has fallen to around 996 mb. While surface analyses indicate there is still a front in close proximity to the low, deep convection has become more concentrated to the north of the center. In fact, GOES-16 1-min visible imagery suggests the low-level center is re-forming closer to the convection. The broad wind field is asymmetric, with the strongest observed winds occurring to the north and west of the frontal feature. A NOAA Saildrone sampling the system reported a sustained wind of 40 kt and a gust around 50 kt earlier this morning. Based on the available observations, the initial intensity is held at 45 kt. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system this afternoon. The initial motion of the cyclone is just west of due north (350/10 kt). The system is forecast to move north-northwestward to northward through Saturday along the west side of a subtropical ridge over the western and central Atlantic. This motion will take the center of the cyclone inland over eastern North Carolina on Saturday morning and over the Mid-Atlantic region Saturday night and Sunday. The track guidance is in good agreement for this forecast. Based on the slight northward adjustment to the initial position, the updated NHC forecast is slightly faster than the previous one, showing the cyclone center just inland in 24 h. Based on recent satellite and observational trends, the cyclone appears likely to strengthen during the next 12 h over the warm Gulf Stream waters. The more organized convective structure should also facilitate its transition to a tropical storm during the next 6-12 h as it starts to become separated from its frontal features and develops a smaller inner core. The near-term intensity forecast has been bumped up slightly (55 kt) before the system moves inland early Saturday. After landfall, the system is expected to weaken due to the negative influences of land interaction, drier air, and strong upper-level winds. This forecast shows extratropical transition by 48 h with dissipation by 72 h, in good agreement with the GFS and ECMWF models. Key Messages: 1. Tropical storm conditions are expected along portions of the southeastern and mid-Atlantic U.S. coasts within the Tropical Storm Warning area today into Saturday night. 2. There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge inundation over portions of eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, including Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds, the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers, the lower James River, and the lower Chesapeake Bay, where Storm Surge Warnings are in place. Residents in these areas should follow advice given by local officials. 3. Heavy rainfall from this system could produce flash, urban, and small stream flooding impacts across portions of the Mid-Atlantic states from North Carolina to New Jersey through Sunday. 4. Swells generated by this system will affect much of the U.S. east coast through the weekend, likely causing life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Issued at 900 AM GMT Fri Sep 22 2023000 WTNT45 KNHC 220834 TCDAT5 Post-Tropical Cyclone Nigel Discussion Number 28 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152023 900 AM GMT Fri Sep 22 2023 Nigel has completed its transition to an extra-tropical cyclone this morning. Convection from earlier has waned, and is well displaced from the exposed low-level center. Based on a blend of an earlier partial ASCAT pass and subjective Dvorak satellite intensity estimates, the initial intensity is lowered to 60 kt for this advisory. The system is encountering very strong vertical wind shear and ocean temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius. The system is forecast to continue to gradually weaken over the next couple of days. However, the system will remain a strong extra-tropical cyclone with an expanding wind field. The NHC intensity forecast is similar to the previous advisory and lies near the model consensus. Nigel continues to race northeastward at 32 kt. A northeastward motion is forecast to continue the next day or so, as it remains in the flow along the southern edge of a deep mid-latitude trough. Afterwards, Nigel should rotate around the eastern side of a large extratropical cyclone over the North Atlantic, with the two extratropical systems merging in about 48 h. The model guidance remains in fairly good agreement, and the NHC forecast lies in the center of the guidance envelope.

We are frequently asked: How are we supposed to behave as a tourist
when we get surprised on the island?
Two simple rules:
1. Stay home.
2. Follow the orders of the Civil Protection authorities.
All our Casas have a solid construction base, none is made of wood.
Officially a hurricane starts when wind speed exceeds 118 Km/hour. But even at 50 Km/h persons are advised to seek protection.
