By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Weather experts at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are closely monitoring Hurricane Isaac, Tropical storms Helene, Joyce and 3 more disturbances in the Atlantic.
As of this morning, Hurricane Isaac was heading east over the North central Atlantic.
A gradual turn to the east-northeast with a slight acceleration in forward speed is expected over the few days.
Additional strengthening is expected during the next day or so followed by gradual weakening by the end of this weekend.
Tropical storm Helene continues to produce historic and catastrophic flooding over parts of southern Appalachians.
Flash flood emergencies are in effect for Metropolitan Atlanta and upstate South Carolina.
A slowdown in forward speed is expected soon, and the storm is forecast to stall over the Tennessee Valley tonight and through the weekend.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Continued weakening is expected, and Helene is forecast to become extratropical later today.
Tropical Storm Joyce has formed in the central Atlantic tonight.
Gradual strengthening is expected through Saturday, followed by gradual weakening through early next week.
Meanwhile, AL98 is an area of low pressure located midway in between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles. It continues to become better organized. This disturbance is already producing gale-force winds.
Environmental conditions are conducive for further development and a tropical depression or storm could form today while the system moves generally westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
The system is then forecast to slow down and turn north-northwestward by this weekend.
This system has a 90% chance of formation through the next 48 hours.
Another area of low pressure could form over the western Caribbean Sea by the middle of next week. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for slow development thereafter while the system moves generally northwestward, potentially entering the Gulf of Mexico by the end of next week.
This system has a 0% chance of formation through the next 48 hours.
A third area of low pressure could form over the eastern tropical Atlantic by the early to middle part of next week.
Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for slow development thereafter while the system moves generally northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
This system has a 0% chance of formation through the next 48 hours.
