This GOES East satellite image shows two tropical storms...one over the Atlantic and the other over the eastern North Pacific. In the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Nadine is nearing hurricane-strength tonight, centered about 875 miles east-northeast of the Lesser Antilles. Maximum sustained winds are 65 mph, and Nadine is expected to become a hurricane tonight or early Thursday. Its northwest motion is forecast to turn toward the north-northwest by Thursday Night. Nadine is not a threat to land.
Meanwhile. newly-formed Tropical Storm Kristy is centered about 380 miles south-southeast of the southern tip of Baja California. Maximum sustained winds are 45 mph, and some strengthening is possible during the next two days. A northwest to west-northwest track is forecast, taking the center away from the southwestern coast of Mexico and south of the southern tip of Baja California.

Bom dia,
o GFS ás 228H coloca a Nadine sobre a Madeira...até agora foi o unico modelo que coloca esta hipotese.
Neste momento ainda é muito cedo para dar como certo esta trajectoria?
As runs de hoje do GFS colocam a passar sobre os Açores e não sobre a Madeira !
Desculpa devo ter visto mal...nao consigo postar a imagem mas vi sobre a Madeira...passa 1º pelos Açores e depois desce ate á Madeira.
Tropical Storm Nadine is close to hurrricane strength, centered this morning over the Atlantic Ocean about 800 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. Maximum sustained winds are 70 mph, and Nadine could become a hurricane today. Its northwest movement is expected to become north-northwest tonight and north on Friday. Nadine is not a threat to land.
Meanwhile, over the eastern North Pacific Ocean, Tropical Storm Kristy is centered about 165 miles east of Socorro Island. Maximum sustained winds are 50 mph, and some strengthening is expected during the next day or so. It's moving toward the west-northwest, with the center of Kristy expected to pass well south of the southern tip of Baja California during the next 24 hours. However, rough surf is expected along the coast of southwestern Mexico and the southern Baja Peninsula.

O furacão que está a formar, existe a possibilidade de chegar a Portugal e passar na zona de Aveiro, Porto?
É ainda um bocado impossivel de prever, mas é provavel?
Podem dar a vossa opnião.
Obrigado
Calma, deixem primeiro a "nadine" chegar a furacão e ver como ela se comporta (até onde evolui, as surpresas acontecem nestas ocasiões) para depois ver onde vai a nadine chegar...
