The Atlantic Hurricane Season has it's first hurricane of the season!!! Hurricane Irene is currently a category 1 hurricane, 25 mi W of San Juan, Puerto Rico and about 125 mi E of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. It is moving WNW at 14 mph and has maximum sustained winds of 80 mph with gusts as high has 90. Below is the projected path of the storm:
So far this season, there have been nine storms with currently Irene being the strongest. This season is also the first season since record taking of hurricanes began in 1851, that the first eight storms did not attain hurricane strength. There is still more of the season and not officially over until November 30. The tropics are brewing. Currently there is a large area of low pressure off the coast of Africa. There is a 10% chance that this area of pressure will develop into a tropical cyclone. Is this you Jose?
