My brothers, here is a storm warning posted to me by the national weather advisory for my neck of the woods. A lot of this will be pertinent for anyone up in the Northeast:
New Hampshire will see the remnants of Tropical Storm Bonnie later today
and the remains of Hurricane Charley on Sunday.
As of 7:00 AM this morning, Bonnie has been downgraded to a strong low
pressure system and is centered near Virginia. Bonnie will continue it's
northward movement and is forecasted to track up the Connecticut River
Valley. Although wind will not be a factor, the system will produce an
additional 1 to 2 inches of rain. Additionally, there is the possibility
of strong thunderstorms from this afternoon into this evening.
Hurricane Charley is a category 2 storm with sustained winds at 110 MPH
with gusts near 125 MPH. Charley is located in the eastern Gulf of Mexico
and is expected to strengthen further before making landfall on the central
Gulf Coast of Florida.
Beyond today, the path of Charley is still a bit uncertain, but Charley is
expected to track inland up the eastern coast of the U.S. The remains of
Charley will affect weather in New England beginning Sunday morning.
At this time, the forecast track for Charley is slightly west of the taken
by Bonnie. If the forecast path is correct, New Hampshire should expect 3
to 5 inches of rain over western portions of the state with sustained winds
at 20 to 30 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH near the storm track. Areas east of
the storm should see rainfall in the 1 to 3 inch range with winds at 20 to
25 MPH and gusts to 35 MPH.
This is still an early forecast. As conditions warrant, additional
advisories will be issued.
