User blog:CycloneNkechinyer/January 4, 2016- Alan becomes Hurricane, Cynthia, Andrew form



Hello! I'm Henry Hannig of the Hurricane Center. We have a lot of activity, let's get right to it.

Hurricane Alan:

Location: 20.2 S, 55.8 W Winds: 85MPH, Gusts 100MPH Pressure: 987 MB Movement: WSW at 10 MPH

Hurricane Alan is now a full-fledged Category One Hurricane. Alan's eye is well defined, and Alan appears to be continuing to strengthen while moving towards land. Alan could strengthen to a Category 3 Storm before Landfall.

Tropical Storm Brayden:

Location: 16.1 S, 0.4 W Winds: 65MPH, Gusts 75MPH Pressure: 1000 MB Movement: SSW at 15 MPH

Tropical Storm Brayden is also developing. It crossed the Prime Meridian into the Southwest Basin this morning. Brayden should hit land on it's current track.

Tropical Storm Cynthia:

Location: 31.3 S, 23.4 E Winds: 40MPH, Gusts 50MPH Pressure: 999 MB Movement: SW at 5 MPH

Tropical Depression Three-C became Tropical Storm Cynthia overnight. Cynthia is Moving Southwest towards land at the moment.

Tropical Storm Athena:

Location: 28.4 S, 48.4 E Winds: 50MPH, Gusts 65MPH Pressure: 991 MB Movement: SSE at 5 MPH

Tropical Storm Athena is moving slowly to the Southeast towards the Granmayen (Gra-May-en) archipelago. Athena should weaken before making it there.

Subtropical Storm Andrew:

Subtropical Storm Andrew is the farthest south forming storm in January in history. Andrew's fast speed may cause it to be extratropical, so this may be the final (and first) advisory.

Tropical Depression Four-C formed very quickly last night just before landfall, becoming the first storm to make landfall this year.

Tropical Depression Three-S:

Location: 40.1 S, 65.4 W Winds: 35MPH, Gusts 45MPH Movement: SW at 5 MPH

Tropical Depression Three-S has strengthened but it may or may not become tropical storm Bee before making landfall.

Tropical Depression Four-S:

Location: 4.9 S, 139.3 W Winds: 35MPH, Gusts 50MPH Movement: SW at 5 MPH

Tropical Depression Four-S is rapidly strengthening and should become a tropical storm in the next advisory.
