Satellite imagery and radar imagery into early afternoon suggests a better organized tropical system this morning. As of 11 a.m, this system had 35 mph sustained winds according to the National Hurricane Center. The system should become a named tropical storm later today.

The latest track of the system shows the chance for tropical storm force conditions is low, but when looking at the entire cone, we are still vulnerable.

Here is MY percentage chances....

Rough Surf: 100% chance

Rip Currents: 100% chance

Outer band/Squalls: 60% chance

Heavy Rain: 30% chance

Strong winds: 30% chance

Tropical System interacting with front producing enhanced t-storm activity: 80% chance

I am a trained weather spotter for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey. I also am the Assistant Skywarn Coordinator for Burlington County, New Jersey. An assistant Skywarn Coordinator works with spotters from all across the county in which you are responsible for and also coordinates with the head coordinator. There are several trained weather spotters throughout the FOX 29 viewing area. I was the weather anchor at Seneca High School, which is located in South Jersey, from February 2006 to June 2008. When I was the weather anchor, I interviewed several well known names to the weather world. Dr. Steve Lyons from The Weather Channel, Dean Gulezian who is the Eastern Director of NOAA, and Bill Proenza, former director of The National Hurricane Center. I also was a sideline, sports reporter for the Lenape District Television Channel from January 2007 to June 2008. I graduated from Seneca High School in June of 2008.
