| Hurricane Maria |
| ANOTHER record broken |
|
On August 31st, a group of thunderstorms developed two centers of
circulation
Early on September 1st, these two centers of circulation combined into one storm, and became Tropical Depression 14
History is "against" this one... NO storm that developed here in September has hit the USA
On September 2nd, TD14 grew into Tropical Storm Maria
This is the earliest formation for the 13th storm in any season since 1851. It is expected to strengthen more but probably stay below hurricane strength.
Maria future track is forecast to change from west-northwest to north-northwest, taking the tropical storm well east of Bermuda, and at this point not forecast to affect the U.S.
On September 4th, Maria reached Hurricane strength... it still was heading harmlessly North, and away from the US coast...
September 7 Tropical Storm Maria (65 mph) will weaken further as it continues to plow northeastward through the open waters of the central Atlantic.
Maria is expected to transition to a powerful mid-latitude storm by the end of the week, churning northeastward between Ireland and the southern tip of Greenland early next week.

Maria (75 mph) is once more a hurricane, but is still forecast to weaken a
bit as it plows northeastward through the open waters of the central
Atlantic.
Maria is expected to transition to a powerful mid-latitude
storm by the end of the week, churning northeastward between Ireland and the
southern tip of Greenland early next week. |

Tropical Storm Maria is still holding onto tropical characteristics over the
North Atlantic, but will continue to make the transition to a strong
extra-tropical storm over the next 24 hours.
As of 5 a.m. EDT Friday, Maria is located at 40.2 north and 44.1 west, or 635 miles southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. The storm is moving to the northeast at 14 mph. Maximum sustained winds are still around 65 mph, but these will weaken somewhat as the storm accelerates on its northeasterly path.
