Tropical Weather Outlook

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

200 PM EDT Fri Oct 18 2024

 

For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

 

  1. North of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (AL94):

Recent satellite-derived wind data indicate that a trough of low

pressure continues to produce showers and thunderstorms extending a

couple hundred miles north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Development, if any, of this disturbance should be slow to occur

while it moves quickly westward to west-northwestward at around 20

mph, continuing north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands today,

then near Hispaniola and the southeastern Bahamas this weekend.

Further development is not expected due to strong upper-level winds

by early next week.

  • Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent.

  • Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent.

 

  1. Western Caribbean Sea (AL95):

Widespread showers and thunderstorms have become a little better

organized today across the northwestern Caribbean Sea in association

with a broad area of low pressure that is gradually becoming better

defined to the north of eastern Honduras. Environmental conditions

appear conducive for some additional development over the next day

or so, and a short-lived tropical depression or storm could form

before the system moves inland over Central America on Saturday.

Interests in Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico should

monitor the progress of this system, as tropical storm watches or

warnings may be required later today. Regardless of development,

locally heavy rainfall is likely across portions of Central America

and southern Mexico through the weekend.

  • Formation chance through 48 hours…high…70 percent.

  • Formation chance through 7 days…high…70 percent.

Cuba sees island-wide blackout after power plant failure

 

Havana CNN —

 

Cuba’s electrical grid shut down on Friday, putting the country into a blackout after the failure of one of the island’s major power plants, according to its energy ministry.

 

In a statement on X, the ministry said “the failure” of the Antonio Guiteras Power Plant caused “the total disconnection of the National Electrical System” from 11 a.m. ET on Friday.

 

In Havana, motorists on Friday tried to navigate the city where no street lights appeared to be working and only a handful of police were directing traffic. Generators are a luxury for most Cubans and only a few could be heard running in the city.
