The Earth: Hurricane Season 2012: System 94 L (Western Atlantic Ocean)

Hi My Friends: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., The National Hurricane Center (NHC) Miami, Florida assigned an area in the northwestern Bahamas a 80% probability of becoming a tropical cyclone over the coming weekend. NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite passed over the low pressure area and provided rainfall data to forecasters.

Satellite Data Indicate Developing Tropical Cyclone Off the Carolina Coast

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) Miami, Florida assigned an area in the northwestern Bahamas a 80% probability of becoming a tropical cyclone over the coming weekend. NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite passed over the low pressure area and provided rainfall data to forecasters.

The TRMM satellite passed over the low pressure area designated as System 94L on May 25 at 0153 UTC (9:53 p.m. EDT, May 24) and at 0331 UTC (11:31 p.m. EDT May 24). A rainfall analysis from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) instruments shows that showers are wrapped around the north side of the low pressure area, and heavy rain has been falling in Cuba and the Bahamas for the last 24 hours.

System 94L is a broad area of low pressure, located 275 miles southeast of the coast of the Carolinas. If the low develops over the weekend it would be named tropical storm Beryl. The low is generating strong showers and thunderstorms across central Cuba and the northwestern and central Bahamas.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted that central Cuba has received between 6 to 20 inches or rainfall, creating floods and mudslides, and rain continues. Freeport, Bahamas reported a 24-hour total of 9.7 inches. The gives System 94L a high chance for becoming a tropical cyclone this weekend when conditions will be better for further development. Coastal interests from the Carolinas southward through northeastern Florida should monitor the progress of this system over the Memorial Day weekend.
