peter and rose tropical storm
Two tropical systems are forming in the Atlantic, according to experts, one of which could bring severe surf and tropical downpours to inhabitants from the Leeward Islands to Puerto Rico and Bermuda.
Since it raced quickly off the African coast as a fast-moving tropical wave just a few days ago, Global Weather meteorologists have been watching the tropical entity, now known as Tropical Storm Peter. The quick speed at which Peter was travelling prevented any rapid development; but, as it approached the Leeward Islands early Sunday morning, Peter slowed and intensified enough to become the 16th named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.
Peter is roughly 305 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands and continues to travel west-northwest, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the storm’s north and east.
Residents from the Leeward Islands to Puerto Rico, as well as those in Bermuda, should continue to monitor Peter’s progress this week. Although Weather meteorologists do not expect Peter to make landfall, increased tropical downpours, gusty winds, and heavy surf are expected until early next week in the northern Caribbean and late next week throughout Bermuda, according to Weather meteorologists.
Through Tuesday, as Peter travels northwest, soaking showers and strong thunderstorms will expand westward through the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico. Localized flash floods might occur in any places that receive multiple tropical downpours from Peter, particularly in low-lying or poorly draining areas. Those with an interest in the region should keep a close eye on Peter when he approaches just north of the Leeward Islands and west of Bermuda this week.
“They rely on weak tropical waves to bring vital rainfall and relief from the heat,” Global Climate Meteorologists noted. “Islands in the Caribbean, particularly small islands, are not large enough to produce their own thunderstorms.” Peter will do just that into early next week, if the storm does not become a powerful tropical storm.
“A combination of wind shear and drier air around Peter will prevent the storm from strengthening over the coming days,” a recent climate Meteorologist warned.
By early next week, as Peter continues to move northwest, several hundred miles north of Puerto Rico, a struggle with dry air, rising wind shear, and a huge dip in the jet stream pattern off the US East Coast will stymie any hopes of quick intensification. All of these factors together will prevent the storm from progressing beyond tropical storm strength and will send it on a trajectory to travel out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Adkins continued, “It’s feasible that over the next several days, Peter loses wind intensity, and it’s not out of the question that the storm loses its classification as an organized tropical system.”
As a powerful cold front travels eastward across the United States this week, the United States is likely to be spared from Peter. The Eastern Seaboard will be blocked from Peter by the cold front, which will put the hazard out to sea.
Although the East Coast of the United States appears to be spared from Peter’s effects, Bermuda residents should keep an eye on the storm’s progress in the coming days. Later this week and into next weekend, the storm could bring more tropical downpours, strong winds, and dangerous waves to the island.
On Sunday evening, Tropical Storm Rose became the Atlantic’s 17th named storm.
Meanwhile, another tropical wave continued to surge west towards the Cabo Verde Islands until the cluster of showers and thunderstorms collected enough to become Tropical Depression 17, which was quickly upgraded to Tropical Storm Rose.
As the storm moves northeast, Rose is anticipated to remain at sea for the foreseeable future. As the storm proceeds northeast, it will enter a severe environment that will prevent the storm from rapidly intensifying.
“Wind shear will build again Monday night, and the combination of wind shear and cooler waters should result in a decline in wind intensity from Tuesday on,” Metrologists explained.
By late Tuesday night, Rose is predicted to track over colder waters, where moderate wind shear will take over and shred the storm apart. Over the wide waters of the Central Atlantic, the storm is expected to lose tropical characteristics later this week.
Through Monday, the storm may bring heavy rains, powerful rip currents, and dangerous surf to the Cabo Verde Islands, but inhabitants should keep an eye on the storm’s track for any changes.
“While the storm is unlikely to pose any direct risks to land,” Adkins warned, “any shipping interests in or near the storm’s course should be prepared for rough seas.”
