UNISYS Water Vapor Satellite 12 hour loop - click here

September 2, 2005. A huge vortex has consolidated over Northeastern Canada. It extends from the equator to the Arctic Circle. It extends from Hudson Bay across the Atlantic Ocean to the Greenland Ice. Tropical Depression 14 can easily be seen as the 'white' spot in the Atlantic. TD Fourteen is currently at 30 knots near 20.6N 48.1W . Currently it would seem TD 14 will not make landfall. The Gulf of Mexico is 'reasonably' quiet.

September 2, 2005. UNISYS GOES East. Tropical Storm 14. Not expected to make landfall.
