UPDATED By WeatherBug Meteorologist
Potential Tropical Cyclone #22 is no longer expected to develop into a tropical system. This will be the final update since all watches have been discontinued by the National Hurricane Center. However, southeastern Cuba and Hispaniola should continue to monitor the situation as heavy rains are expected to produce life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides to the regions.
As of 10 p.m. EST, Potential Tropical Cyclone #22 was located near 20.0N, 76.5W, or about 85 miles west of Guantanamo, Cuba. Maximum sustained winds with the system are 35 mph, and it is moving northeast at 22 mph. Its minimum central pressure was 1006 mb or 29.71 inches of mercury.
Heavy rain, mudslides, and flash flooding will be the primary concern from this system. Expect an additional 4 to 8 inches across southern Hispaniola and southeastern Cuba, potentially yielding rainfall totals up to 14 inches.
Officially, the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season will end on November 30. However, tropical storms have formed in every month of the year, including one that developed in January of this year. With that in mind, it is wise to keep an eye on the tropics even as the weather turns in a seemingly wintry direction.
