Review of Friday's storm reports and preview of our 2009 hurricane season

The Atlantic Basin hurricane season begins tomorrow, June 1st. The updated forecast calls for a near normal season with a 70 percent chance of having nine to 14 named storms, of which four to seven could become hurricanes, including one to three major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5). They also stated that 'global weather patterns are imposing a greater uncertainty in the 2009 hurricane season outlook than in recent years.'

Here is the link to the forecast report from May 21st:

http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/20090521_atlantichurricane.html

Our Forecast for Monday looks to be a quiet one, as high pressure to our north keeps us under mostly sunny skies. There is a slight chance for an isolated shower or storm thanks to easterly winds bringing a sea breeze inland. Our humidity and storm chances are forecast to increase into Tuesday and throughout the rest of the week.

Last week ended on a stormy note, as showers and storms (some developing to strong to severe limits) brought heavy rains, a good deal of lightning and, in some cases, hail. Here's what was reported to the National Weather Service:

Friday Morning Update on Tropical Depression #1

Tropical Depression #1 is hanging on early this morning in the Atlantic but has not been able to strengthen into a tropical storm. That is not looking likely at this point as it continue to track east-northeast across cooler ocean waters. It is likely the system will weaken over the next 24 hours, and it will not impact any land areas.

The 2009 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins Monday, June 1. Stay tuned to News 14 Carolina Monday for reports from the coast on preparations for this year's hurricane season.

First Tropical Depression of the Season Forms


The area of low pressure that was off the coast of North Carolina become the first tropical depression to form in the Atlantic in 2009. The season officially begins on June 1. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm before weakening over cooler ocean waters. If the system becomes a storm, it will be called Tropical Storm Ana.
The depression is moving to the northeast today and is not forecast to impact land.
Stay tuned to News 14 Carolina for tropical updates at :21 after the hour.

Low off NC Coast


The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of low pressure off the North Carolina coast for a slight possibility for weak tropical development. The probability of tropical development is less than 30%, and even if it does develop into a tropical system, it should mainly just impact the Outer Banks with rain showers.

Here's this morning's outlook from the NHC...

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACCOMPANIED BY A FEW SHOWERS IS LOCATED ABOUT 120 MILES SOUTH OF CAPE HATTERAS NORTH CAROLINA. WHILE CONDITIONS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT...THE SYSTEM HAS A BRIEF OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A TROPICAL CYCLONE BEFORE REACHING THE COLDER OCEAN TEMPERATURES NORTH OF THE CAROLINAS. AS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES TOWARD THE NORTH AT 10-15 MPH... THE SYSTEM COULD BRING SOME SHOWERS TO COASTAL NORTH CAROLINA LATER TODAY. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE... LESS THAN 30 PERCENT... OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT WILL INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM THIS AFTERNOON... IF NECESSARY...

Hurricane Preparedness Week

The 2009 Atlantic hurricane season begins in less than a week. Most forecasts for this year predict a near normal season for the number of named storms. Regardless if its a normal, above normal, or below normal season, it only takes one powerful storm to create havoc. A storm could impact the Carolina coast and inland areas of the Carolinas with damaging winds, flooding rains, and tornadoes.

Are you prepared for the upcoming season? Check out the National Hurricane Center's online preparedness guide at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/intro.shtml

Are you ready to hit the water? This week is 'Safe Boating Week'

Wearing a life jacket is one of the most effective and simple life-saving strategies for safe recreational boating. Boaters are required to have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket on board for every passenger on their vessel.

Modern life jackets are available in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. They are comfortable, lightweight, and perfect for any boating activity or sport.

No matter what the activity or life jacket style chosen, the most important thing is this: remember to grab a life jacket and "Wear It!" To learn more, visit the National Safe Boating Council online, at www.safeboatingcouncil.org.

A Little Sun, Cooler Monday!

After a wet Sunday that featured locally heavy rain, the clouds will be slow to move out. In fact it may take until midday Monday until the Triangle gets a few peeks of sun.

Decreasing clouds today, breezy and cooler with highs in the low to mid 60s. NE winds of 10-20 with occasional gusts to 25.
Clear to mostly clear and chilly tonight. lows in the low to mid 40s. NE winds 3-8.
Tuesday: Sunny and a bit warmer; highs in the lower 70s.

Outlook for the rest of the week: Your Weather on the Ones forecast center is watching a disturbed area of weather off the southeast coast of Florida. Forecast models have been varying on how this system will move this week. There is one idea of this system moving north and west, which would have onshore winds steering clouds and showers toward southern portions of North Carolina later this week, or another solution taking this system more toward the west into the Gulf of Mexico. We'll keep you updated on any changes this week in your Weather on the Ones 7-day forecast.

Isolated storms possible Friday afternoon


Friday afternoon update: The Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of Central NC in a slight risk category for strong to severe storms. Your Weather on the Ones forecast center is monitoring for any developing storms that have the potential to produce damaging winds, large hail and / or frequent lightning. Check with us throughout the afternoon for updates.



Our current weather setup includes a good deal of moisture in the air and some sunshine, which is creating instability this afternoon. Pair that up with a passing upper-level disturbance and that will take this air and lift it vigorously, giving us that possibility for storms to develop. The threat diminishes after sunset tonight, so you'll still be able to partake of your outdoor plans as you kick off your weekend.

Saturday and Sunday we will have a better chance of seeing some scattered showers and storms as a cold front to our north settles over the northern portion of our state. Temperatures will remain warm, highs in the low to mid 80s, lows in the low to mid 60s.

As far as next week, we're still looking at an unsettled weather pattern with a possibility of showers or storms each day and highs in the low to mid 80s.
