Currently developing out in the middle of the Atlantic, tropical storm Lee will be making its way north-westwards over the coming days, likely to have strengthened into a Category 1 Hurricane within the next 24hrs. Storm Lee is forecast to reach at least Category 4 Hurricane status through this weekend, but whether or not the system will make landfall whilst sustaining damaging winds remains up in the air. Nevertheless, expect large swells and possible disruption to Atlantic transport next week. #lngtransport #weatherforecast #tropicalstorm #atlantichurricaneseason

Tropical Storm Ophelia has formed off the mid-Atlantic US coast. The National Hurricane Center stated in its 1 PM update, "Tropical storm conditions are expected along portions of the southeastern and mid-Atlantic U.S. coasts within the Tropical Storm Warning area today into Saturday night." Dangerous life-threatening storm surge inundation of 3 to 5 feet is possible over parts of eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia. Heavy rainfall of 4-6 inches could produce flash, urban, and small stream flooding impacts across portions of the Mid-Atlantic states from North Carolina to New Jersey through Sunday. Ophelia is the 16th named storm of the 2023 hurricane season. ------ Opterrix's real-time weather peril data and best-in-class visualizations provide pinpoint insights into how policyholders will be impacted by extreme weather events before, during, and immediately following events like Tropical Storm Ophelia.

Tropical Storm #Beryl is expected to make landfall on the Texas coast as a hurricane early Monday, and is forecast to bring life-threatening storm surge, and damaging winds according to the National Hurricane Center. Storm surge inundations are forecast along the coast of Texas from Padre Island to Sabine Pass, including Matagorda Bay and Galveston Bay. Rip currents will cause life-threatening beach conditions through Monday across much of the Gulf Coast. After Beryl moves inland, the latest guidance turns the system northeastward late tomorrow and it becomes a post-tropical cyclone. How can WE help YOU?

Latest update for Hurricane Beryl. The storm continues to track WNW across the Caribbean Sea. It is expected to impact the Yucatán by late tomorrow night/Friday morning. The storm is expected to reach the lower Gulf of Mexico by early Saturday morning. Uncertainty remains as to strength and intensity of the storm tracks towards northern Mexico/South TX. Uncertainty also remains as to how north the storm will track. Confidence in the forecasted NHC track will go up on Saturday morning for a possible South TX (or near South Texas) landfall by late Sunday/early Monday morning. Residents along the coast of Texas should monitor this storm closely. There is high confidence that beach conditions will go from hazardous to dangerous fairly quickly. Rip currents and coastal flooding is expected. Please visit the NHC website and social media pages for decision making. 6:30 AM 07/03/2024 Credit: South Texas Weather Updates #Texas #WeatherUpdates #HurricaneBeryl

Understanding Hurricane Categories Category One = Winds 74-95 mph. These winds can wreak havoc: Even well-constructed frame homes could suffer damage to roofs, shingles, and vinyl siding. Tree branches will snap, and shallowly rooted trees may topple. Extensive damage to power lines and poles is likely, leading to power outages that could last several days. Irene of 1999 and Katrina of 2005 were Category One hurricanes when they made landfall in South Florida.

As Beryl continues to move through the Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm it is imperative that local residents be prepared for hurricane force winds and rain. The storm is still expected to strengthen prior to making landfall and the forecast predicts Beryl will come ashore as a Category 1 hurricane near Corpus Christi. A Storm Surge Warning is in effect from Corpus Christi to Galveston. Also, 5-10 inches of rainfall (12-15 inches in isolated spots) are expected with a Flood Watch in effect for most of the Texas Gulf Coast region including the Houston area. To sum it up, residents can expect Beryl to make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane early Monday morning. The storm will impact the mid-to-upper Texas coast region with heavy rainfall, high winds, and dangerous flooding. For anyone riding the storm out, please stay indoors, avoid driving, stay away from windows, ensure you have water, and be vigilant.

Tropical Storm Idalia is rapidly gaining strength as it moves northeast towards Florida. It is expected to intensify into a Category 3 hurricane as it makes its predicted landfall on Wednesday morning near Florida's Big Bend. As waters rise and move inland from the shore, areas typically dry near the coast could potentially become inundated, as highlighted by the hurricane center and NOAA (https://hubs.li/Q020qCDY0?). Watches & Warnings in effect: ☑️ Hurricane Watch: Florida's Gulf Coast from Englewood to India Pass, including Tampa Bay ☑️ Tropical Storm Warning: The Dry Tortugas area of Florida ☑️ Tropical Storm Watch: The Lower Florida Keys west of the Seven Mile Bridge's end Expect scattered urban flooding in parts of Florida's west coast, the Panhandle, and southern Georgia due to heavy rainfall from Idalia. Rainfall could range from 3 to 6 inches, reaching up to 10 inches in isolated areas, between Tuesday and Wednesday. This could cause flash flooding in portions of the Carolinas from Wednesday to Thursday. We are keeping a close eye on this storm and will provide updates as they become available. #TropicalStorm #Hurricane #Idalia #Insurance #RiskManagement

Tropical Storm Beryl Approaches Texas Coast Beryl, once again at tropical storm strength, is set to strengthen as it heads toward the south Texas coast, bringing a risk of damaging winds, life-threatening storm surge, and dangerous flooding. It is expected to become a Category 1 hurricane before making landfall near Corpus Christi on Monday. Hurricane and storm surge watches are in effect along the Texas coast from the Rio Grande to San Luis Pass, with up to 5 feet of storm surge and 15 inches of rainfall potentially causing significant flooding. Beryl has already caused significant damage across the Caribbean and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, leaving hundreds of thousands of homes without power. It is the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic, having intensified rapidly due to abnormally warm ocean waters. Jamaica, Venezuela, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were particularly hard hit, with extensive property damage and severe flooding.
