Furacão LORENZO (Atlântico 2019 #AL13)

[SpiderVV]

E parece que já chove nas Flores também.

 

[lcs]

Aqui nas Flores, no lado oriental da ilha já se sente a força do vento.
Às 00:30 a rajada máxima numa estação da RHA foi de 129 kmh.
Ainda não chove significativamente.

Antes de mais, saudações ao @lcs , o florentino cá do sítio.

De acordo com a seguinte imagem, a mais actualizada que consegui encontrar, já não é possível distinguir o olho do furacão, mas parece-me que está muito mais à direita do que o inicialmente previsto.

 

[SpiderVV]

993 hPa nas Flores e em queda muito rápida. Os ventos médios horários já se situam nos 50 km/h.

 

[SpiderVV]

Mais uma rajada de 91 km/h na estação amadora de Ponta Delgada (Flores) à 1:24 hora dos Açores.

Já chove nas Flores.

Esses dois primeiros vídeos foram realizados pelo M. Night Shyamalan. Não percebi nada e quando apareceu a cara do homem dei um pulo da cadeira. Desculpem, não resisti...
Agora a sério, esse tipo é o "gajo do anemómetro" que anda a bombar na SIC Notícias a noite toda.

Agora vou fazer uma vistoria ao perímetro da propriedade e já volto para reportar.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lorenzo was
located near latitude 39.1 North, longitude 32.7 West. Lorenzo is
accelerating and is now moving toward the northeast near 40 mph (65
km/h). A northeastward motion at an even faster forward speed is
expected through Thursday morning. The cyclone is forecast to slow
down and turn eastward by Thursday night. On the forecast track,
the center of Lorenzo is expected to pass near the western Azores
early Wednesday morning.

Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher
gusts. Only slow weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours,
and Lorenzo is expected to be a powerful extratropical cyclone when
it approaches Ireland Thursday afternoon and evening.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 390
miles (630 km). During the past hour, a 10-minute average wind of
45 mph (72 km/h) and a gust to 64 mph (104 km/h) was reported at the
Santa Cruz Airport on Flores island in the western Azores. A
10-minute average wind of 39 mph (63 km/h) and a gust to 48 mph (78
km/h) was reported at Horta on Faial island in the central Azores.

The minimum central pressure is estimated to be 960 mb (28.35
inches) based on data from a nearby NOAA drifting buoy, which
reported a pressure of 961.5 mb around 0200 UTC.


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Lorenzo can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header WTNT43 KNHC
and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT3.shtml

WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the hurricane
warning area early Wednesday morning. Tropical storm conditions
are already occuring across the western and central Azores.
Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm warning

RAINFALL: Lorenzo is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm) over the western Azores and up to 1
inch (25 mm) over the central Azores Tuesday and Wednesday.

SURF: Swells generated by Lorenzo have spread across much of the
North Atlantic basin, and are affecting the east coast of the United
States, Atlantic Canada, the Bahamas, portions of the Greater and
Lesser Antilles, the Azores, and portions of the coast of Europe.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.
