MIAMI (AP) — Foul weather
building in the Gulf of Mexico yes
terday threatened to form Tropical
Storm Harvey.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Gert,
with 130-mph winds, loomed a
threat to Bermuda.
Forecasters at the National
Hurricane Center expected to post
a storm warning or watch for the
northern and eastern Gulf Coast
late yesterday with a tropical de
pression circulating off the Flori
da coast with 35-mph winds.
The system should come
ashore north of Tampa, cross the
Florida peninsula tomorrow and
shoot into the Atlantic with 55 to
60-mph winds but will not pose
much of a rain threat to flooded
areas of the Carolinas, hurricane
specialist Brian Jarvinen said.
The storm will “be moving
fairly briskly, and they (the Car
olinas) would be on the drier side
of the system when it came by,’’
he said. “I wouldn’t be expecting
a whole heck of a lot of rain from
this system.’’
Though upper-level winds
were chopping off the tops of
storm clouds keep the system in
check, it was likely to strengthen
into Harvey late Sunday or early
Monday, forecasters said.
Though upper-level winds
were chopping off the tops of
storm clouds early Sunday to keep
the system in check, it was likely
to strengthen into Harvey late
Sunday or early Monday, fore
casters said.
At 11 a.m. EOT. the system was
centered about 335 miles south
west of St. Petersburg near 26.1
north latitude and 87.7 west lon
gitude and moving north near 7
mph.
A trough over the continental
United States is expected to slow
ly turn the system to the north
east, said Jarvinen.
“There’s still some uncertain
ties about how strong it will be
and when that turn will be,’’ he
said.
“We don't anticipate anything
happening really fast so people
have plenty of time to do what
they need to do.”
The outer reaches of the sys
tem dumped an inch of rain on
South Florida Saturday and yes
terday.
