Isabel's a 5 but PR & Bahamas are safe, so far.....
Isabel still Category 5
9/12/2003 6:53 A.M. Betsy Abrams, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Isabel continues to track west and should move well north of the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico now have heavy surf advisories and coastal flood watches for the north to east shores. Hurricane Isabel is generating large ocean swells and dangerous surf conditions and will for the next several days. The intensity of Isabel may fluctuate a bit, but it is expected to remain a major hurricane for the foreseeable future. People along the Eastern Seaboard should pay attention to the track of this powerful hurricane. Showers off the North Carolina and Virginia Coasts are associated with a broad low pressure area, the remnants of tropical depression Henri. Breezy and wet conditions will spread up the Chesapeake Bay today, and heavy surf advisories stretch north from northern North Carolina to southern Long Island, N.Y. The combination of the remnants of Henri and a strong high pressure system in the Canadian Maritimes are combining to bring gusts onshore. Things are fairly quiet in the Eastern Pacific, although a tropical wave well south of Acapulco, Mexico bears watching. Over in the Western Pacific, typhoon Maemi has gradually weakened but will still impact mainland South Korea as a major typhoon. Winds have gusted to near typhoon force on Cheju Island south of the mainland as Maemi has passed by to the east. Heavy rain will fall over already soggy South Korea, making for flooding and a wet Chosuk (harvest festival) holiday weekend. As Maemi went over Miyakojima on Thursday, the pressure dropped below 27 inches, check that on your barometer. One fatality was reported with over 70 people injured in the southwestern Japanese Islands well away from the main islands of Japan. Keep up with the latest on Isabel and Maemi by watching the updates on the Weather Channel. |
