The following was copied from Accu Weather.com Atlantic Ocean Today's Discussion April 21, 2003 08:00 a.m. The Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico hurricane season does not officially begin until June 1st, but the first name on the 2003 list has already been assigned. The area of low pressure some 140 miles south-southwest of Bermuda showed enough convection, and enough organization, that the National Hurricane Center gave it a name -- "Subtropical Storm Ana," at 11 PM EDT Sunday. The upper level steering winds will take this system south of Bermuda today, producing some squally weather on the island. The only effect on the U.S. mainland will be large northeast swells along the mid Atlantic and southeast coastal waters. Tomorrow and Wednesday, what's left of Ana will continue to move eastward, through the open waters of the Atlantic. Ana is only the second known subtropical or tropical storm to form in the month of April. The other time was April 21-24, 1992. That system was subtropical in nature, i.e. not truly warm core, as a tropical system is, and it was not given a name. -- _______________________________________________ Get your free Verizonmail at www.verizonmail.com |
