User blog:CycloneNkechinyer/January 3, 2016- Athena and Brayden

Hello, this is forcaster Henry Hannig of the Hurricane Center! Let's get right to it!

Tropical Storm Alan:

Location: 19.7 S, 30.3 W Winds: 70MPH, Gusts 85MPH Pressure: 991 MB Movement: WSW at 15 MPH

Tropical Storm Alan is continuing to rapidly strengthen. The storm appears to be developing a eye, and this should become a major hurricane before a potential landfall.

Tropical Storm Athena:

Location: 30.5 S, 38.9 E Winds: 40MPH, Gusts 55MPH Pressure: 1001 MB Movement: SSE at 5 MPH

Tropical Storm Athena appears to be holding steady- for now. Athena is moving into a area of heavier wind shear near the Granmayen (Gra-May-en) Archipelago. We'll see if it survives to make landfall.

Tropical Storm Brayden:

Location: 12.7 S, 0.4 E Winds: 45MPH, Gusts 55MPH Pressure: 998 MB Movement: SW at 10 MPH

Tropical Storm Brayden appears to gradually be gaining strength. It will continue to strengthen past the Prime Meridian, and perhaps make landfall.

Tropical Depression Three-C:

Location: 18.3 S, 11.9 E Winds: 30MPH, Gusts 40MPH Movement: S at 15 MPH

Tropical Depression Three-C has developed to the SE of Tropical Storm Brayden. It should move southwest. If it develops, it will be named Cynthia.

Tropical Depression One-W:

Location: 27.5 S, 143.2 E Winds: 35MPH, Gusts 50MPH Movement: SSE at 20 MPH

Tropical Depression One-W has organized itself over the far Southeast. Should develop and become Tropical Storm Andrew.

Tropical Depression Three-S:

Location: 33.4 S, 24.8 W Winds: 25MPH, Gusts 35MPH Movement: SW at 10 MPH

Tropical Depression Three-S has developed in the Southwest. If it does develop, it will be named Bee.

The Remnants of Subtropical Depression Two-S are now a extratropical cyclone.

The remnants of Tropical Depression One-E are moving NW, with minimal chance for re-development.
