Hurricane Tammy becomes extratropical, not expected to hit Bermuda – Orlando Sentinel

Hurricane Tammy became an extratropical cyclone on Thursday with a track that will keep a large wind field away from Bermuda, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As of 5 am. In what will be the NHC’s final advisory, Tammy’s center was located about 395 miles east-southeast of Bermuda and moving north at 12 mph. Although it is no longer classified as a tropical cyclone, winds of up to 85 mph have been tracked and tropical storm force winds extend approximately 200 miles.

“The system should begin moving toward the northwest later Thursday morning, followed by a slower movement toward the west-northwest on Friday.” Forecasters said. “Some weakness is expected over the next few days.”

The track approaches Bermuda, but is then pulled back east into the open Atlantic Ocean.

Tammy hit the Caribbean island of Barbuda over the weekend before moving north into the Atlantic Ocean.

Tammy’s named case continues to add to the number of named storm days for this season, which rose to 97 on Wednesday.

The season has seen 20 official systems, including an unnamed subtropical storm in January, and 19 systems that have formed since the official start of the hurricane season on June 1. Eighteen of them grew to tropical storm strength and took a name from a list of 21 storm names identified by the World Meteorological Organization.

Only the names Vince and Whitney remain on this year’s list as hurricane season continues through November 30.
