[29] In Puerto Rico, rainfall was limited due to the storms' fast motion, triggering minor flooding but little damage. [12] The depression continued to track westward in response to an upper-level high over the north Atlantic. It poses no threat to land but was notable nonetheless, making 2020 a record-breaking hurricane season. [7] The storm became completely separated from the upper-level system,[8] and the cyclone re-organized, developing an eye feature late on April 21. 4. Tropical Storm Ana was the first named storm of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season and the first tropical cyclone to impact the Caribbean islands during 2009. As Ana weakened and dissipated, the watches were discontinued. Forecast Advisories Public Advisories Discussions Wind Speed ...

[13] Early on August 15, the NHC upgraded the depression to a tropical storm, giving it the name Ana as deep convection developed around the center of circulation. The storm accelerated east-northeastward toward a stalled frontal zone, entering an area of increased wind shear. It was also the first tropical cyclone to affect the Caribbean during 2009. South Carolina Effects: Due to the weakened intensity of Tropical Storm Ana, coastal and inland effects were minimal. Pockets of rain lingered in eastern … Forming out of an area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave on August 11, Ana briefly attained tropical storm intensity on August 12 before weakening back to a depression. [1] Operationally, the cyclone was first classified by the National Hurricane Center around this time, when it was considered a subtropical cyclone. Tropical Storm Ana was the first of two named tropical cyclones, along with Tropical Storm Arlene in 2017, on record in the North Atlantic basin to exist in the month of April.

Claudette developed offshore of the Southeastern United States and brushed Bermuda and the Azores. Hurricane Information Page. [27] In nearby Haiti, officials placed the country under yellow alert as the remnants of Ana could produce heavy rainfall over mountainous areas. [25] General Luna Paulino of the civil army activated relief agencies ahead of the storm and notified residents of possible mandatory evacuations. Several ships were moved to Simpson Bay Lagoon where waves are generally small. 3. In post-storm analysis, it was discovered that Ana had degenerated into a tropical wave once more on August 16, before reaching any landmasses.[1]. [16] As an extratropical storm, the remnants of Ana dropped 0.87 inches (22 mm) of precipitation in the city of Ponta Delgada in the Azores. [2] The non-tropical low tracked generally northward,[1] with a ridge to its east and west,[3] and on April 19 the system began producing sporadic convection near its center; early that day, satellite imagery indicated the presence of a tight inner core of winds. Tropical Storm Ana was the only tropical cyclone on record in the Atlantic Ocean in the month of April. Numerous tropical storm watches were issued for the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic between August 15 and 17. But on May 10, Tropical Storm Ana made landfall along the Carolina coast and carried maximum sustained winds of 74 kilometers per hour (46 miles per hour).

[17] It was determined in post-storm analysis, that Ana had degenerated into a tropical wave shortly afterwards, and was no longer a tropical cyclone. Throughout the island, roughly 6,000 people were left without power as numerous branches were snapped off trees and knocked down power lines. On August 9, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a tropical wave associated with a small area of convective activity between the Cape Verde Islands and the western coast of Africa. Ana was the first tropical storm of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season. [20], On August 15, a tropical storm watch was issued for much of the Leeward Islands. Shelters were also prepped throughout the country; however, these were not opened and the residents who had voluntarily evacuated had returned home by the afternoon of August 17. 1. Tropical Storm Ana is only the second tropical or subtropical storm to form in April since forecasters began tracking hurricanes in 1871. Tropical Storm Ana.

D. Ana. Graphics Archive. [14] Later that day, wind shear caused convection to become displaced from the circulation, exposing the center of Ana again. Upon becoming a tropical storm, Ana attained a peak intensity of 60 mph (95 km/h), which was based on estimates from the Hebert-Poteat technique and data from QuikSCAT. A non-tropical low pressure area developed about 240 miles (390 km) south-southwest of Bermuda on April 18 through the interaction of an upper-level trough and a surface frontal trough. Figure 11. [33] The remnants of Ana produced widespread rainfall across Hispaniola; however, there were no reports of damage from the system. Tropical Storm Ana turned east-northeastward, steadily weakening du… Tropical Storm Ana turned east-northeastward, steadily weakening due to wind shear and an approaching cold front, and on April 24 it became an extratropical cyclone. [4] The depression developed deep convection around the center of circulation and continued to track generally towards the west in response to a mid-level subtropical ridge to the north. Despite hostile conditions, Ana strengthened slightly, reaching peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h). Tropical Storm Ana - August 17-18, 2009 A well organized tropical wave with an area of low pressure and significant thunderstorm activity moved offshore the African coastline on August 9th. They found that the system was regenerating[11] and shortly after, the NHC began re-issuing advisories on the depression when it was located roughly 1,075 mi (1,735 km) east of the Leeward Islands. The storm brushed Bermuda with light rain, and the remnants produced precipitation in the Azores and the United Kingdom. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th. It rapidly consolidated, and a tropical depression developed by October 13. The system moved northwest until reaching the southern Cape Verde Islands, then turned westward out into the open Atlantic. [1] Several hours later, the system became disorganized due to increased wind shear. It headed westward and after satellite imagery indicated a closed circulation, the wave was classified as a tropical depression on June 19, while located several hundred miles east … Embedded within the flow of a cyclone to its north, Ana continued eastward,[9] and early on April 22 the wind shear again removed the convection from the center. [14] Meandering near the island for several days while developing, the storm dropped 2.63 inches (67 mm) of precipitation in a six-day period at the Bermuda International Airport. Tropical Storm Ana A tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa and entered the Atlantic on June 14. Ana later reformed and became a tropical storm on August 15 before wind shear tore apart the storm again. Several streets were temporarily shut down due to flooding, including one tunnel, and three schools had to be evacuated. [31] The rains caused the RÃo Fajardo to rise, resulting in the issuance of an alert as officials warned it could overflow its banks. The storm formed on August 11, but strong wind shear weakened it on August 13. The only other known April subtropical system formed in 1992. Tropical Storm ANA Advisory Archive. The following day, the system degenerated into a non-convective remnant low as it tracked westward. May is early to see large storms in the Atlantic; the season begins in earnest on June 1. Tropical Storm Theta formed in the Atlantic Monday night. [26] Emergency officials stated that roughly 35,000 personnel were on standby in case of a disaster. [24] In the Dominican Republic, officials posted flood alerts for 12 provinces as the remnants of Ana were forecast to produce up to 6 in (150 mm) of rain in the country. But Ana marked the earliest subtropical or tropical storm to form in the Atlantic since another storm named Anaemerged in 2003, the Hurricane Center said in an earlier tweet. Following this, the NHC stated that Ana had dissipated off the coast of Puerto Rico, despite having already degenerated into a tropical wave the previous day. Tropical Storm Anna Ana originated from the interaction of an old frontal system and the divergence associated with a sharp mid level trough of low pressure. The first storm, Ana, developed on July 15 near Bermuda and caused minor effects in Canada while transitioning into an extratropical cyclone. [19] Later that day, a final reconnaissance plane flew into the storm and did not find a low-level circulation. It tracked east-southeastward and organized, and on April 21 it transitioned into a tropical cyclone with peak winds of 60 mph (95 km/h). After attaining tropical characteristics, it became the first tropical storm on record in the month of April, and was among the earliest forming tropical or subtropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin. Several islands took minor precautions for the storm, including St. Croix which evacuated 40 residents from flood-prone areas ahead of the storm. [16] By the afternoon, a Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance mission did not find any evidence of tropical storm-force winds, resulting in Ana being downgraded to a tropical depression. [8] By the afternoon of August 13, the system had weakened to a tropical depression and shortly thereafter, degenerated into a non-convective remnant low-pressure area as it failed to maintain convection around the center for 24 hours. The twenty-first named storm and fifteenth hurricane of the 2014 Pacific hurricane season, Ana formed from a disturbance that formed in the Central Pacific in mid-October. Because it happened … Ana is the fir st tropical storm of record in April in the north Atlantic basin. [13] Upon its classification by the National Hurricane Center, a tropical storm warning was issued for Bermuda. Ana originated from a non-tropical low and made landfall along the northeastern coast of South Carolina, causing minor wind damage, some beach erosion, and one direct death in North Carolina. [5] Strong upper-level wind shear removed much of the convection,[6] though a small area of thunderstorms persisted near the center. [9], On August 14, roughly 24 hours after degenerating into a remnant low, convection began to redevelop over the system. By 5 … Ana made landfall as a tropical storm between Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at 6:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday. Despite this, the NHC continued operational advisories until confirmation could be made with visible satellite imagery. [21] In St. Kitts, officials evacuated 40 families in flood-prone areas to shelters ahead of the storm. The system at this time was located about 280 mi (455 km), west of the Cape Verde Islands. Swells generated by the storm capsized a boat along the Florida coastline, causing two fatalities. [5], The subtropical storm tracked east-southeastward and continued to organize, and by late on April 20 an upper-level warm core was present over the system. Two days later, the watch was expanded to include Puerto Rico and areas in the eastern Dominican Republic between Cabo Engaño and Cabo Beata. Three other tropical cyclones – Claudette, Henri, and Isabel – did not significantly affect land. Impact from Ana was minimal, mainly consisting of light to moderate rainfall. [1], Prior to the development of Ana, the government of Bermuda issued a gale warning for the island. [3] After slowly organising for a few days, the NHC reported early on August 11, that the system had developed into a tropical depression. National Hurricane Center Home Page. After turning to the northwest, it looped southeastward and gradually became separated from the surface frontal system,[1] due to the deepening of the upper-level trough over the system. [29] There were also reports of waterspouts and tornadoes associated with Ana in Puerto Rico. and much more in the Hurricane Information Page and Storm section The first tropical cyclone of the 2003 season, it developed as a subtropical cyclone from a non-tropical low on April 20 to the west of Bermuda.

[12] After turning to the northeast, the circulation center merged with an approaching cold front on April 24, and Tropical Storm Ana completed the transition into an extratropical cyclone. On August 14, the depression regenerated roughly 1,075 mi (1,735 km) east of the Leeward Islands. [1] Operationally, the subtropical cyclone was not classified by the National Hurricane Center until 21 hours later. 2.

Provided by the SeaWiFS Project, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, and ORBIMAGE [30] A maximum of 2.76 in (70 mm) of rain fell in RÃo Grande. [1] Several hours later, the system redeveloped convection as it raced towards the west-northwest at 26 mph (42 km/h). Forming out of an area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave on August 11, Ana briefly attained tropical storm intensity on August 12 before weakening back to a depression. In Puerto Rico, up to 2.76 in (70 mm) of rain was reported, causing street flooding and forcing the evacuation of three schools.

[1] The combination of the swells and an outgoing tide caused a boat to capsize in Jupiter Inlet on April 20; two of its occupants drowned, and the other two were rescued. [5] The depression was expected to gradually intensify as it moved over marginally warm sea surface temperatures and into an area of low wind shear; however it was anticipated that dry air would hamper the depressions chances of intensifying further. [6], By August 12, the NHC reported that Tropical Depression Two was near tropical storm intensity after a burst of deep convection over the center. Tropical Storm Ana was the first of two named tropical cyclones, along with Tropical Storm Arlene in 2017, on record in the North Atlantic basin to exist in the month of April.
