Tropical Weather Outlook 
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 
200 AM EDT Sun Sep 15 2024 
 
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: 
 
Active Systems: 
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical  
Storm Gordon, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean. 
 
Offshore the Southeastern U.S. Coast: 
A non-tropical low pressure area has formed along a frontal boundary  
a couple of hundred miles off the southeastern U.S. coast and is  
producing winds to gale force north of its center.  The low is  
forecast to move northwestward or northward over the warm waters of  
the Gulf Stream toward the coasts of North Carolina and South  
Carolina, and it could become a subtropical or tropical storm during  
the next day or two if the associated front dissipates and showers  
and thunderstorms become sufficiently organized. 
 
Regardless of tropical or subtropical development, the low is  
likely to bring gusty winds, heavy rains with the potential for  
flash flooding, coastal flooding, and dangerous beach conditions to  
portions of the U.S. Southeast and Mid-Atlantic coast during the  
next couple of days, and interests in these areas should monitor  
the system's progress.  Additional information can be found in  
products issued by your local National Weather Service Forecast  
Office and High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather  
Service. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.  
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gordon was
located near latitude 19.6 North, longitude 44.8 West.  Gordon is
moving toward the west-southwest near 10 mph (17 km/h).  A west to 
west-southwest motion is expected during the next few days, with 
Gordon forecast to slow down considerably through the middle of the 
week.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Gordon is expected to weaken to a tropical depression later today,
and it could degenerate into a remnant low at any time during the
next few days.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
to the north of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).

Tropical Storm Gordon Discussion Number  16
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL072024
500 AM AST Sun Sep 15 2024
 
Due to strong westerly shear, deep convection associated with
Gordon is located at least 120 n mi to the east of the exposed
center of circulation.  An ASCAT-C pass from last evening revealed
that maximum winds were barely tropical storm force just to the
north of the center, and the latest satellite intensity estimates
suggest Gordon may have weakened further since that time.  The
initial intensity is held at 35 kt for now, but additional ASCAT
data should help us re-assess Gordon's maximum winds later this
morning.
 
Gordon has been moving west-southwestward (255/9 kt), steered by a
low- to mid-level ridge to the north.  The cyclone is forecast to
turn westward later today, but the ridge is expected to weaken
during the next few days, which should cause Gordon to slow down
considerably.  A mid- to upper-level trough is expected to amplify
northeast of the Leeward Islands by the middle of the week, and
Gordon is likely to respond by slowing down to speeds of less than
5 kt while gradually turning northwestward and then northward on
days 3-5.  The updated NHC forecast has been shifted slightly south
of the previous prediction during the first 3 days of the forecast,
trending toward the HFIP Corrected Consensus, and then shows a
slightly sharper recurvature on days 4 and 5.
 
Continued shear, a dry mid-level atmosphere, and a subsident
upper-level environment are likely to cause Gordon to weaken to a
tropical depression later today.  In fact, all of the global models
show the wind field weakening and broadening during the next couple
of days, and it's entirely possible that Gordon could degenerate
into a remnant low at any time if deep convection wanes.  If
Gordon survives the next few days, the environment could become a
little more conducive for strengthening toward the end of the
forecast period.  The NHC intensity forecast generally follows a
blend of the GFS and ECMWF models, which lie near the lower bound of
the guidance.

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.

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.
