Here is Jose’s forecast track as of 5:00 PM EDT, Friday, Sep 15.

 

Here is a forecast of wind speeds.  Note we are in the 10 – 20 MPH wind speed band.

 

This chart is an experimental depiction of wind arrival times, indicating we may experience winds throughout the day Monday, Sep. 18, from early morning until late Monday night-Tuesday morning..

The current five-day weather forecast for our neighborhood calls for a 20% chance of rain Monday and Tuesday with winds of 10 and 14 MPH respectively; high temperature in the high 70’s both days.

These current forecasts do not indicate we will experience any severe weather, except for higher than normal winds.

Watch this website for further weather updates.

Weather forecasts for the week of September 10 – 16 show we will not be affected seriously by Hurricane Irma.

We are forecast to experience 1-5 inches of rain with possible minor flooding in low-lying areas, beginning Monday night, Sep 11, ending late-Tuesday-early-Wednesday, Sep 12-13.  We may also experience winds of 10-15 MPH with gusts approaching 30 MPH.

These conditions are similar to those we experience during one of our typical nor’easters.

Although we are not in the path of hurricanes Irma or Jose, hurricane season does not end until November 30 — we need to keep our eyes on the weather.  We will post weather alerts here on the website as well as sending emails to all PBE property owners as conditions require.

This forecast map from the National Hurricane Center indicates Irma will make landfall in south Florida — probably at/near Miami — then will move north-northwest, hitting:

• Savannah, Georgia, Monday afternoon as a hurricane (winds 74-110 MPH)
• Knoxville, Tennessee, Tuesday afternoon as a tropical storm (winds 39 – 73 MPH)

If this track holds, our neighborhood will feel only moderate effects from Irma, if anything at all.  However, the prudent action to take is to be prepared for high winds and heavy rain:

• Secure all outdoor items — furniture, boat accessories, lawn ornaments.
• Be certain your boat is lashed down VERY securely, if you cannot bring it ashore.
• Make certain all doors and windows are closed and locked.

This compilation of possible tracks from the Cyclocane website reinforces the National Hurricane Center track projections with most of the projected tracks moving inland.

The latest track for Hurricane Jose indicates the storm will veer out to sea and should not affect us.

While the tracks for Irma and Jose are good news for our neighborhood, watch this site for updated information on these and other storms.  Remember:  Hurricane season does not end until November 30.

 

 

 

The current track for Hurricane Irma, issued by the National Hurricane Center, shows the storm making landfall on southern Florida late Sunday night/early Monday morning.

If this track continues:

If this track continues, after making landfall on Florida, the storm will loose strength as it moves across land.  In this case, Irma will effect us on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday — Sep 12-14 — with rain and high winds.  However, by the time Irma reaches our neighborhood, it will no longer be a hurricane or a tropical storm.

Other models show Irma moving up the East Coast:

Other computer models that analyze changes in Irma’s track caused by high- and low-pressure areas suggest the storm could miss Florida and come ashore along the southeastern Atlantic Coast.

Some of these computer models suggest Irma could affect us as a hurricane.

What to do:

Continue to watch the National Hurricane Center, local weather reports, and this website.

If you are in the neighborhood over the next few days, please secure your outside furniture, grills, boat, boat accessories — or anything else that is not tied down.  Move these items inside; tie them down; or, stash them under your deck.  Ensure your doors and windows are closed and locked.  Give your contact information to one of us who lives here year-round.
