Hurricane Gordon:
He continues to be a very weak cat 1, but he has started moving to the
north at least although very slowly at 6mph. He'll be heading northeast
soon though, and I think he'll be a TS within the next 24 hours.
Hurricane Helene:
Helene did strengthen a bit since yesterday and is now a mid-level cat
1, with winds of 85mph (cat 1: 74-95mph). The system is moving towards
the northwest at 9mph. She's still in a low shear environment, the
water vapor situation is the same as yesterday, and she's over slightly
warmer waters. I expect her to continue to intensify, and maybe even be
a borderline cat1/cat 2 storm by tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I won't be sending out an update. If you are using
these blogs to figure out the date, it will be Sept. 18th tomorrow :)
