The trade winds are expected to gradually weaken starting late Monday, which will allow local nighttime land breezes and afternoon sea breezes to develop from Monday night into mid-week. Locally breezy trade winds combined with stable atmospheric conditions will result in a dry trade weather pattern through early Monday. North winds up to 15 mph shifting to the northwest in the afternoon. Highs 83 to 88 near the shore to 69 to 76 above 4000 feet. Monday: Mostly sunny with isolated showers.

We don’t know yet when those will start being issued.Ĭopyright 2022 Sunbeam Television Corp. The Hurricane Center is now actively working on seven day forecasts. Jack Bevin: “You put it all together, we have improved our capabilities a lot, of monitoring the storm, tracking the storm and forecasting the storm.” Hurricane Hunter Pineda: “This is the transmitter right here that sends all the data back to the aircraft.”Īnother big advancement: weather satellites that can take pictures above a hurricane every 30 seconds.ĭr. Now ,the dropsondes allow them to check wind speed in the actual eye of the storm. Jack Bevin: “We got these new fancier dropsondes in, start throwing them out into the strongest part of the hurricane eyewall and made some very interesting discoveries about how the hurricane worked.”īut when Andrew hit, scientists could only measure wind speed at 10,000 feet above ground. He has been on the front lines to see all of the changes, which have led to better and more accurate forecasts today.ĭr. at Florida State and doing intern work at the Hurricane Center.” Jack Bevin is now a senior storm specialist for the NHC.ĭr. Jack Bevin: “Now we are issuing watches 48 hours in advance and warnings 36 hours in advance as compared to back in 1992.”ĭr.
This is the track scientists can currently study when a storm is three days away from landfall, and this is technology they had when Andrew was one day away from landfall in 1992, which means we now know days earlier where a storm is going to hit.Īnd that means people are now getting earlier and better warnings so they can prepare.ĭr. Here’s another example of how far forecasting has come. This tighter cone is the result of new technology that gives forecasters a better understanding of how hurricanes work. Now, compare that to today, this little circle represents where the cone would be focused three days out from a storm making landfall. If they would have used the cone of concern, it would have looked something like this. It’s a large area, and scientists could only say the storm would hit somewhere in here. Jack Bevin, Senior Storm Specialist, National Hurricane Center: “In 1992, we were only making three-day forecasts.”Ĭheck this out, back in 1992, this was the predicted three-day track for a hurricane.
