Historical Tours of Bermuda
1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
Shower activity has diminished somewhat associated with a tropical wave located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive for gradual development during the next several days while the system moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic.
A few showers around with a brighter afternoon ahead
A series of inverted troughs move over the area within the next few days. (A trough is an elongated area of relatively low pressure extending from the centre of a region of low pressure…. now you know) This brings an increase in cloud cover and maybe some showers. Winds begin southerly light to moderate but increase moderate during the evening.Seas gradually build from slight to become slight to moderate today and remain that way pretty much into the end of the week.
High near 31°C/87°F
Humidity drop! – 77%!!!
Winds southerly 8 to 12 knots, tending south-southeasterly at times and increasing 10 to 15 knots by evening.
Another perfect day to be on the water, but seas will increase tonight, so be careful if you’re out night fishing – Seas inside the reef calm to 1 ft… Outside the reef 2 to 3 ft.
Tonight – Outside the reef line 3 to 5 ft.

Winds east-northeasterly 5 to 8 knots, veering easterly during the day.

A cloudy start with a few showers about…The moist and unstable southwesterly regime begins to weaken, reducing the flow of showers nearby and allowing cloud cover to break up.

IsaiasAt 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the centre of Hurricane Isaias was located near latitude 23.9 North, longitude 77.1 West. Isaias is moving toward the northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h), and a general northwestward motion with some decrease in forward speed is expected for the next day or so, followed by a turn toward the north-northwest by late Sunday. On the forecast track, the centre of Isaias will move near or over the Central Bahamas this morning, near or over the Northwestern Bahamas later today and near the east coast of the Florida peninsula tonight through Sunday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected through Sunday, and and Isaias is forecast to remain a hurricane during this time.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the centre and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km).
1. A westward-moving tropical wave located about 650 miles east of the Lesser Antilles continues to produce a few disorganised showers. Environmental conditions are forecast to become more conducive for development in a day or two, and a tropical depression could form early next week. This system is forecast to turn northwestward, and then northward over the western Atlantic north of the Leeward Islands through the middle of next week.
10At 800 AM CVT (0900 UTC), the centre of Tropical Depression Ten was located near latitude 17.8 North, longitude 21.6 West. The depression is moving toward the northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h). A turn toward the west-northwest or west is expected by Saturday afternoon. On the forecast track, the centre of the depression is expected to move north of the Cabo Verde Islands later today.
