Tropical Cyclone Tammy

HURRICANE TAMMY HOLDS STEADY WHILE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD OVER
SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC

According to the NHC advisory number 25

Tammy is moving toward the northeast near 8 mph (13 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through Wednesday. A turn toward the north at a slower forward speed is forecast to begin on Thursday, followed by a bend to the northwest on Friday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Slight strengthening is possible during the next day or so followed by steady weakening. Tammy is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone on Thursday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

SURF: Swells generated by Tammy will continue to affect portions of the Leeward Islands, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION DISSIPATES INLAND

These rains are likely to produce flash and urban flooding, along with mudslides in areas of higher terrain.
