17. There is still a chance Gonzalo, the seventh named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, could become a hurricane — the first of the season **This story … The remnants of Gonzalo also pounded the British Islands with winds exceeding 70 mph causing the death of at least one person.An analysis of rainfall was conducted on Fay and Gonzalo as they moved through the central Atlantic Ocean and over Bermuda. This is comparison of NASA satellite imagery before (Oct. 4) and after (Oct. 19) Hurricane Gonzalo passed shows the sediment stirred up (green, blue). "[image-131]A compilation of GOES-East satellite imagery from Oct. 15 to Oct. 17 was made into a video by the NASA/NOAA GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Gonzalo moved quickly away from Newfoundland into the North Atlantic. The MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured a "before" look of Bermuda on Oct. 4 at 17:20 UTC (1:20 p.m. EDT). NOAA's GOES-East satellite captured a visible image of the storm on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 1145 UTC (7:45 a.m. EDT) that showed it in the North Atlantic, blanketing eastern Canada and stretching east over open waters. At most, it formed into a tropical storm. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports that Gonzalo is the earliest seventh named storm on record in the Atlantic basin, beating Gert of 2005 by 2 days. A general westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next couple of days. Data from the reconnaissance aircraft indicate that tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles from the center.The government of Barbados has canceled the hurricane watch for Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 24 to 36 hours. NOAA's GOES-East satellite captured this image of Hurricane Gonzalo off the U.S. East Coast on Oct. 16 at 13:07 UTC (9:07 a.m. EDT). In my opinion this was the worst part. According to the National Hurricane Center, Gonzalo is the first category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic basin since Ophelia in 2011.NOAA's GOES-East satellite provides visible and infrared images of weather from its orbit in a fixed position over the Earth. Despite its location near the warm Gulf Stream, the island rarely sees direct hits from major storms. Tropical Storm Gonzalo is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 4 to 8 inches across the Leeward Islands...British and U.S. Virgin Islands and Eastern Puerto Rico with isolated maximum totals of 12 inches possible. The images revealed how Gonzalo stirred up the sediment from the ocean bottom.The MODIS instrument or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer that flies aboard NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites provided imagery of Bermuda and the stirred sediment. Although my neighborhood didnât suffer much damage, other than a few electric wires falling, other areas of the island had fallen light poles, wires and trees, crushed fences and walls. NOAA's GOES-East satellite provided and "eye-opening" view of Gonzalo, still a Category 4 hurricane on Oct. 16.A hurricane warning is in effect for Bermuda and that means that hurricane conditions are expected within the warning area, meaning the entire island.On Oct. 15 at 15:30 UTC (11:30 a.m. EDT) the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite captured a visible picture of Hurricane Gonzalo in the Atlantic Ocean. "Gonzalo is located around 685 miles east of the Southern Windward Islands, and has maximum sustained winds of 60mph.This puts Gonzalo at not quite a hurricane yet, as a category one hurricane is classified at 74 to 95mph.However, the NHC forecasts strengthening during the next couple of days, and Gonzalo could become a hurricane.Gonzalo is moving westward at a speed of 14mph, and has triggered a hurricane watch and tropical storm watch.A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area.A watch is typically issued 48 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous.Interests in the Windward Islands should monitor the progress of this system.Additional watches or warnings will likely be required for some of these islands later today.A general westward motion at a faster forward speed is expected today followed by a turn toward the west-northwest on Saturday.On the forecast track, the centre of Gonzalo would approach the Windward Islands late Friday and Saturday.Gonzalo has set records for the earliest named storm starting with the letter "G" since the United States started using a named-storm system in 1953.Usually a seventh named storm on average occurs in mid-September.Previously, the earliest named 'G' storm was Gert on July 24, 2005.The busiest hurricane season on record was the 2005 season, and some forecasters are predicting 2020 to beat this.However, others remain sceptical as by this time in 2005, there had already been three hurricanes.Philip Klotzbach, a research scientist at Colorado State University tweeted: "While 2020 may beat 2005 to the 7th named storm, 2005 had already had 3 hurricanes and 2 (of those were) major hurricanes (Dennis and Emily) by July 21.
