A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected within the warning area, in this case within 12 to 24
hours.
A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, in this case within 12 hours.
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 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the disturbance was centered near latitude
28.0 North, longitude 96.7 West. The system is moving toward the
northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h), and an increase in forward speed is
expected today. On the forecast track, the low pressure area
should move northeastward along the Texas coast today and then move
inland over southwestern Louisiana by tonight.
Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast, and the disturbance could become a
tropical storm today. Weakening is anticipated once the low moves
inland, and it could dissipate by tonight or early Thursday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
The minimum central pressure based on surface observations is 1003
mb (29.62 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Potential Tropical Cyclone One can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1 and WMO
header WTNT41 KNHC.
RAINFALL: Potential Tropical Cyclone One is expected to produce
rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated higher totals near
20 inches, through early Friday from the Mid and Upper Texas coast
east-northeast into southern and central portions of Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Alabama, along with western portions of Georgia and
the Florida Panhandle. This could generate dangerous to
life-threatening flash flooding.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Potential Tropical Cyclone One, please see the National Weather
Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk
graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?ero.
For a list of rainfall observations (and wind reports) associated
this potential tropical cyclone, see the companion storm summary at
WBCSCCNS1 with the WMO header ACUS44 KWBC or at the following link:
www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc1.html.
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch
area and expected within the warning area later today.
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...
Port Bolivar, TX to Morgan City, LA...2-4 ft
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
the east of the landfall location, where the surge will be
accompanied by large and 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.
For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?peakSurge.
SURF: Swells generated by the Potential Tropical Cyclone are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions
along the northwestern Gulf Coast for the next couple of days.
Please consult products from your local weather office.
A depiction of rip current risk for the United States can be found
at: hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?ripCurrents
TORNADO: A couple of tornadoes are possible through Thursday from
the Upper Texas Coast into southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
and the western Florida Panhandle.

Potential Tropical Cyclone One Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012026
400 AM CDT Wed Jun 17 2026
The center of the low pressure area is very near the Middle Texas
coast, and offshore buoy observations indicate that maximum winds
remain 25 kt. A line of deep convection has formed over the
northwestern Gulf waters since the last advisory, but due to strong
westerly shear, this activity is located more than 120 n mi to the
east/southeast of the low-level center. As a result, the latest
Dvorak classification from TAFB is Too Weak To Classify, meaning
the system does not have the convective organization necessary to
be designated as a tropical cyclone.
The current motion is northeastward, or 045/5 kt. The system is
embedded in strengthening low- to mid-level southwesterly flow, and
with another trough approaching from the northwest, it is expected
to accelerate northeastward today. The track guidance has shifted
slightly westward on this cycle, and the center of the low is
therefore likely to straddle the Texas coast for much of the day,
before moving farther inland over eastern Texas or Louisiana
tonight. The NHC official track has been nudged westward, close to
the TVCN and HCCA consensus aids.
The prospects for this system to become a tropical cyclone may be
decreasing. With the low-level center unlikely to fully emerge
over the Gulf waters for an appreciable amount of time, and 25-30
kt of westerly shear expected to continue for the next 12 hours, it
will be difficult for the system to gain the convective
organization necessary to become a tropical cyclone before it moves
inland tonight. Even if the system doesn't become a tropical
cyclone, there could still be some strengthening of the wind field
well east of the center during the day, and the NHC official
forecast will continue to show a peak of 35 kt in 12 hours. After
that, all of the global models now show the system opening up into a
trough over Louisiana by tonight. The official forecast shows the
system as a remnant low at 24 hours, but it's entirely possible it
will have dissipated by then.
The global models show the remnant low-level vorticity continuing
eastward across the Southeast U.S. on Thursday and Friday, and the
ECMWF, Canadian, and UKMET models indicate that a low pressure
system could redevelop, especially once the system moves offshore
over the western Atlantic. The exact nature of this low is unclear
at this time, but we will monitor model trends for the possibility
of tropical cyclone formation over the western Atlantic late this
week or this weekend.
Regardless of whether the system becomes a tropical cyclone, heavy
rainfall and life-threatening flash flooding will be the primary
hazards with this system.
KEY MESSAGES:
1. Potentially life-threatening flash flooding and urban flooding
are likely through Thursday across southern Louisiana, southern
Mississippi, southern Alabama, southwestern Georgia and the Florida
Panhandle, with possible flooding near the Upper Texas coast.
Ongoing heavy rainfall could prolong the flood threat into the
weekend.
2. Tropical-storm-force winds are expected along the Louisiana
coast today from Sabine Pass to Morgan City where a Tropical
Storm Warning is in effect.
3. Minor to moderate coastal flooding is expected along portions of
the Upper Texas and Louisiana coastlines today.

That's how it starts: the first raindrops are already there
Hurricanes are tropical cyclones. Danger arises through very high wind speeds,
waves and heavy rainfalls. In Cuba a common word for a hurricane is 'ciclon'. Season is
from May through November. Traditionally, through its well organized system of civil protection Cuba
is better prepared for hurricanes then the USA or other countries of the Caribbean. Cuba suffers less
loss of human life. Is is not safe from substantial material damages though.

Right: typical photo of a hurricane
Thank you for the picture, Andrew (was our guest in
Varadero)
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.
Hurricane damages
After the ciclon: Construction materials are paramount
Oficially a hurricane starts when wind speed exceeds 118 Km/hour. But even at 50 Km persons are adviced to seek protection.
