🌴 BEACH BUM TROPICAL WEATHER UPDATE
HURRICANE SEASON ISN'T OVER YET, BEACH BUMS !
The Gulf is finally settling down after Hurricane Isaias, but Mother Nature is still stirring up trouble in other parts of the tropics ! Here's the latest on what's happening across the Gulf, Caribbean, Atlantic and Eastern Pacific.
🟢 GULF OF AMERICA — NO NEW TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED
Good news for our Texas Beach Bums ! There are currently no tropical storms or hurricanes threatening the Texas coastline, and the National Hurricane Center is not highlighting any new tropical development in the Gulf over the next seven days.
That doesn't mean our beaches are completely back to normal. Lingering swells, elevated tides and rip currents can still create dangerous conditions along Padre Island, Mustang Island and Port Aransas.
🌀 HURRICANE ISAIAS — NOW POST-TROPICAL
Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin, Florida, as a Category 2 hurricane with winds around 105 mph.
The storm has weakened significantly and moved inland. As of early Sunday morning, Isaias was near Tennessee with sustained winds of 25 mph, moving northeast at 23 mph.
Heavy rainfall and flooding remain concerns farther inland, but Isaias is no longer a hurricane and poses no direct tropical threat to Texas.
🟡 ATLANTIC OCEAN — ONE AREA TO WATCH
A broad area of low pressure southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
• Development chance next 48 hours: 20%
• Development chance next 7 days: 20%
• Location: Eastern Tropical Atlantic
• Movement: Slowly north to north-northwest
Upper-level winds are expected to become less favorable for development by midweek.
This system is thousands of miles from Texas and presents no immediate threat to the Gulf Coast.
🟢 CARIBBEAN SEA — QUIET FOR NOW
No organized tropical systems are currently threatening the Caribbean, and no additional areas in the Caribbean are highlighted for development over the next seven days.
🌴 TEXAS COASTAL OUTLOOK
For Port Aransas, Mustang Island, Padre Island National Seashore and the Coastal Bend, the tropical outlook is encouraging.
• No new tropical development indicated in the Gulf over the next seven days.
• No tropical cyclone currently heading toward Texas.
• Continue watching beach flooding, tides and rip current conditions.
• Hurricane season officially continues through November 30.
Mother Nature has finally decided to give the Texas coastline a little breathing room ! We don't have a new hurricane knocking on our Gulf Coast doorstep, and that's exactly how we like it !
But don't pack away those hurricane supplies just yet. October can still bring tropical trouble, and we're not officially out of hurricane season until the end of November.
Until then, keep your toes in the sand, your eyes on the tropics and enjoy that Island Time !
