Re: Gonzalo
Thursday Afternoon Update
Bermuda targeted by Gonzalo
The Weather Situation:
Our twitter and facebook updates from earlier this morning indicated that we believed a little more strengthening would be possible before Gonzalo weakened. This has indeed occurred as the hurricane was officially "upped' to 145 mph late this morning. This will be close to the top strength as it accelerates toward Bermuda tonight. Dangerous, large swell will arrive in Bermuda early Friday morning and continue all day.
Current Weather:
As of 2 PM EDT / 2 PM AST Hurricane Gonzalo was centered at 25.3 N / 68.7 W or 540 miles SSW of Bermuda. It was moving north at about 10 mph. Top sustained winds are estimated at 145 mph. Pressure was estimated at 942 mb.
Tropical Weather Forecast:
Gonzalo will be very close to Bermuda Friday. Some effects will be seen starting tonight. It will rapidly accelerate and be near Newfoundland Saturday night.
Interests in Bermuda and Newfoundland should follow Gonzalo closely. All preparations should be completed by dusk tonight in Bermuda.

Re: Gonzalo
Friday Morning Update
Bermuda closing in on Bermuda
The Weather Situation:
Satellite imagery confirms some cloud top warming indicating a little weakening overnight. A larger eye has formed and may pass over the islands later today. Westerly wind shear is apparent from the western side of the circulation. Wind shear in addition to colder sea water will weaken Gonzalo as it passes north of Bermuda and transform it into an extratropical system.
Wave models continue to show swell to about 35 feet near Bermuda later today and over 40 feet in the open Atlantic south of eastern Canada Saturday. :hurricane: Hurricane force winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall can be expected today over Bermuda! Winds are currently under 30 mph, but will rise very rapidly with the approach of Gonzalo.
Current Weather:
As of 8 AM EDT / 8 AM AST Hurricane Gonzalo was centered at 29.9 N / 66.5 W or 195 miles SSW of Bermuda. It was moving NNE at about 15 mph. Top sustained winds are estimated at 130 mph. Pressure was estimated at 946 mb.
Tropical Weather Forecast:
Gonzalo will be at its closest to Bermuda late this afternoon. It will pass very near Bermuda. Tomorrow it will rapidly accelerate and be near Newfoundland Saturday night.
Interests in Bermuda and Newfoundland should follow Gonzalo closely.
