Hurricane Season 2010: Update September 21


11:39pm The 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season is showing no signs of slowing down as we introduce Tropical Storms Lisa to the picture. Tropical Storm Lisa is the 12th named system of the season so far. This system developed this morning from a tropical wave that has been meanderings about off of the coast of Africa just south of Cape Verde. As of the 11am advisory from the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Lisa has maximum sustained wind of 45 miles per hour and it is nearly stationary right now, Lisa is barley moving towards the north with a froward speed of 4 miles per hour. At this time Tropical Storm Lisa is not expected to be a threat to any land mass. We are also monitoring a tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean. This system is in a favorable environment for further development and could become our next tropical storm in the next 24hrs to 48hrs, this area of thunder storms will be monitored as time progresses as it does pose a threat to land. Also in the Atlantic, we are still monitoring Hurricane Igor as it by-passes Newfoundland with strong winds, high surf and heavy rain.
