MY SPECIAL MESSAGES (TUESDAY OCTOBER 8 2024 3:11 PM EDT)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

• See the latest birdseye view post published below for more information on the following and the rest of the Atlantic tropics.

• Intense Hurricane Milton is currently impacting the northern Yucatan peninsula, and will bring impacts to western Cuba, the Florida Keys, Florida peninsula, and northwestern Bahamas (see the latest birdseye view post published below for details).​

• Coastal surf and gusty winds are expected to continue through tomorrow for the Azores, mainland western Europe, and the British Isles from the combination of the current northeast Atlantic frontal cyclone now making landfall in Europe, and the remnant frontal cyclone of Kirk also in the northeast Atlantic following behind.​​​​​

• A tropical wave of low pressure is expected to emerge from the west coast of Africa within the next couple of days and has some development potential while over the eastern tropical Atlantic. As such the Republic of Cabo Verde Islands may see gusty winds, coastal surf, and heavy rainfall by Friday.

• A surface low pressure area has recently moved east across south Florida and the northwestern Bahamas, and has seen a recent increase in thunderstorms while positioned just east of the northwestern Bahamas. Regardless of tropical cyclone formation or not, this system has potential to bring surf to the shores of Bermuda while passing just south of the island over the next day or so.

• ​​​​As the author of infohurricanes.com, I have also been monitoring the progress of the worldwide progress of the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 page has not been updated over the last several months. The COVID-19 page will be updated with a final report on how the virus progressed over last few years.
