05 Oct 2015 / Bermuda
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Bermuda...
...At 500am AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Joaquin was located near latitude 34.1 North, longitude 65.2 West. Joaquin is moving toward the north-northeast near 13 mph (20 km/h), and a turn toward the northeast and east-northeast is expected over the next 48 hours. On the forecast track, the center of Joaquin will move away from Bermuda today.
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours.
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km). A sustained wind speed of 39mph (63 km/h) and a gust to 55mph (89 km/h) were recently reported at the Bermuda International Airport.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 964 mb (28.47 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue to affect Bermuda this morning.
STORM SURGE: Water levels should gradually subside today. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and potentially damaging waves.
RAINFALL: Rain will diminish across Bermuda this morning as Joaquin moves away from the area.
SURF: Swells generated by Joaquin will continue to affect portions of the Bahamas during the next day or so. Swells are affecting much of the east coast of the United States and will spread northward along the coast of Atlantic Canada during the next day or two. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Even though Joaquin is passing well east of the coast of the United States, a prolonged period of elevated water levels and large waves will affect the mid-Atlantic region, causing significant beach and dune erosion with moderate coastal flooding likely.
