POLAR STORM BOB PUBLIC ADVISORY NUMBER 6 5:00 AM EDT MON OCT 2 2017 ...BOB RESTRENGTHENING OVER WATER... MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...60 MPH...95 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...SW at 2 MPH MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...996 MB POLAR STORM BOB DISCUSSION NUMBER 6 CDMC COLLIN D WEATHER CENTER STATESVILLE, NC 5:00 AM EDT MON OCT 2 2017

Bob has began to restrengthen after reemerging over water this morning. The Falkland Islands where devastated by Polar Storm Bob which packed 70 mph winds at landfall and also brought an estimated 5-9 foot storm surge to some areas. Bob is now beginning to restrengthen and we expect Bob to become a polar cyclone soon. Bob is forecast to make landfall in the areas around Rio Grande as a Polar Cyclone and the damage there could be more devastating than on the Falkland Islands. Interests in these areas need to rush to completion their polar cyclone plans or evacuate very soon. A CDMC recon flight is scheduled to be in Bob later this morning.
