Good morning folks. An interesting situation that is unheard of east of Brazil in the form of a cyclone, which is getting better organized today. This cyclone is located approximately at latitude 29.5 south, longitude 46.4 west. Movement continues towards the west towards southern Brazil. Maximum sustained winds are estimated to be in the 85-90 mph range. Minimum central central pressure is 981 millibars.
This is known to be the first hurricane to develop in this part of the world, which proves to everyone that anything is possible in the world of weather, even the most unexpected things such as this.
A few images this morning to keep an eye on. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT ... IR4/20.jpg

Definitely worth tracking as this storm makes landfall.

It seems to me that Brazil will get hit by this later tonite or tomorrow. That's an estimate. The real question of how much stronger this gets is tough to determine. But this system looks quite strong on satellite and we cannot rule out seeing winds of 100 mph or possibly higher. Just unheard of in this part of the world, but anything is possible in the world of weather.

possible reason
msbee wrote:is there any reason why it's not being named?
Given the fact that tropical systems are extremely rare in this part of the world, these systems are not named in the Atlantic south of the Equator. They don't even have a hurricane center in Brazil or in South America for that matter. That's how rare it is to see tropical systems in this part of the world. While anything is possible in weather, this is the most unexpected thing I think anyone could expect, a hurricane type system in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Definitely historic as hurricane type systems have never been detected at least on satellite imaginary in this part of the world.
