The Weather Channel Tropical Storm Coverage Tropical Storm Ana Autust 15 2009

Check out http://allofthenet.blogspot.com/ for up to the date Hurricane Ana coverage - Tropical Depression Three has formed in the east-central Atlantic about 740 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands.

T.D. 3 is still consolidating and will move westward over the open tropical Atlantic over the next few days, steadily gaining strength.

Tropical Depression Two reformed in the Atlantic last night, and has now strengthened to minimal Tropical Storm Ana. This makes it the first named storm of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Ana is located about 920 miles east of the Leeward Islands. Maximum winds are near 40 mph.

Ana is battling some westerly shear. The thunderstorms are off to the east of the exposed center.

The northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Cuba and south Florida all need to monitor the progress of Ana.

In the western Atlantic, a tropical wave and associated surge of tropical moisture are moving away from Hispaniola and the Bahamas, across Cuba and southern Florida, and the eastern Gulf. Breezy conditions along with showers and thunderstorms will likely impact this region, but upper-level winds remain unfavorable for any development at this time. - Check out http://allofthenet.blogspot.com/ for up to the date Hurricane Ana coverage

But Ana barely affected South Florida it's remmants affected us with breezy conditions and some heavier rain but it was no tropical storm or hurricane when it got to us not even a depression. Oh well perhaps we'll see some action this hurricane season.
