RE: Tropical Storm Arlene	Permalink

Tropical Storm Arlene faded to a mass of thunderstorms on Sunday after ploughing into the U.S. Gulf Coast, where it knocked out power to a few thousand people but did little damage to an area still recovering from last year's Hurricane Ivan. Arlene threatened to become a hurricane as it moved through the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday but weakened before it blew ashore in the Florida Panhandle with 97-kph winds. Arlene dumped up to 15 cm of rain across the Gulf Coast from Mississippi to Florida. It was downgraded to a tropical depression and was headed north on Sunday, prompting flood watches in Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana. __________________

One of the Atlantic's first tropical storm has formed in the Caribbean, prompting warnings for parts of Cuba and a prediction of eventual landfall in Florida or elsewhere along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Tropical Storm Arlene had sustained winds of 40 mph early Thursday after developing into a named storm from a tropical depression yesterday. At 8 a.m. ET Arlene was 185 miles west of Grand Cayman island and about 190 miles south-southeast of the western tip of Cuba. "Some additional slow strengthening is possible during the next 24 hours" - statement from the National Hurricane Centre (Thursday morning). A tropical storm warning is now in effect for western Cuba from Pinar Del Rio to the Havana province. Heavy rain is already spreading across the Cayman islands and into Cuba. Heavy rains and flash floods could also hit Nicaragua and Honduras __________________

Hurricane website	Permalink

Today, NASA launched an Internet resource page highlighting the agency’s diverse hurricane research. The site opens just in time for the 2005 Atlantic Ocean hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1 through November 30. The information is available on the Web, at: http://www.nasa.gov/hurricane The Web page is a compilation of data from various satellites and computer models, and it explains why and how NASA investigates hurricanes. It also covers the relationship of NASA’s research focus as compared to other agencies’ operational emphasis. The site provides access to data about active hurricanes and famous past storms. Users can search by hurricane topic, such as how storms are formed; how they are measured; and how they affect land or ocean life. The multimedia section of the site features animation, satellite, video, and still images of hurricanes. __________________
