Earlier today the NHC stopped their advisories on Tomas. He has lost tropical characteristics and is more like a low pressure front than a tropical storm now. This is what we were seeing a couple of days ago and in that image I attached to my previous entry (I had a hectic day away from a computer yesterday :-)). His last known official winds were about 60mph, so he was a mid-sized tropical storm. Central pressure was 997mb. He is centered somewhere around 26.1N, 68.1W.
He is about 500 miles SSW of Bermuda and heading NNE at 3mph. Er, Bermuda I think you're good for the rest of this year. (Talk about a long range forecast! ;-)). Nah... he'll pass well to your east and zip by you a bit sooner than that. It looks like wind shear is pretty strong so he should steadily decline and may just about be able to send you a wave (hee hee...puns intended) as he goes by.
This is my last entry on Tomas.
No more until the next one... or dare I say it, until the end of the season!! Three more weeks to go! Woo hoo.
Later gators! (Shhh, I hear it's best not to mention the noles this week.) (Can one say 'good try'?)
