Atlantic Ocean | Arab Weather issues early warning about forecasts of a tropical cyclone threatening the southern US states at the end of the week

Arab Weather - We are still at the Arab Weather Center, following the latest developments of the tropical condition that is active until the issuance of this report in the Caribbean Sea, before it continues to move in its expected movement towards the northeast to increase in strength as it enters the waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the coming days.

The latest forecasts of weather maps developed within "Arab Weather", which specializes in tracking the movement of tropical cyclones, indicate a high probability of the tropical storm turning into an advanced tropical cyclone later this weekend, before reaching land in the southern United States, with the numerical models' forecasts conflicting about the path of the tropical storm so far.

Important weather conditions may help form the 9th hurricane of the season

Experts said that the weather conditions are already ripe for the tropical storm to develop into an advanced hurricane, in light of the significant rise in the temperature of the Gulf of Mexico waters, which reaches 32 degrees Celsius, with the tropical storm continuing to be fed by huge amounts of tropical cyclones and the absence of northern shear winds. All these weather conditions may put us in the coming days before the ninth hurricane in the Atlantic tropical hurricane season.

In a related development, meteorologists issued a warning on Monday about a potential tropical cyclone, which is expected to develop into a hurricane on Wednesday and continue to develop as it moves across the Gulf of Mexico into a potential advanced hurricane by next Thursday. The tropical storm is currently located 130 miles southwest of the Cayman Islands, moving north at 9 mph, with maximum sustained winds of about 30 mph. Several warnings have been issued for locations in Mexico and Cuba so far.

Expected tropical storm track

The latest official forecast from the National Hurricane Center indicates that the storm will make landfall late Thursday along the Florida Panhandle, parts of western Florida and the southern states of the United States. It is expected to be named Tropical Storm Helen, the next name on the list of hurricanes for this season. The storm is expected to be accompanied by strong winds exceeding 120 km/h and rainfall exceeding 500 mm in some areas and perhaps more, amid warnings of flooding in several southern states.

Exceptional hurricane season forecast

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is forecasting an above-average hurricane season, as it said in its latest report last month, due to higher-than-normal ocean temperatures and the potential for La Nina to develop in the coming months, with the Atlantic hurricane season running through November 30.
