Paulette rolls toward Bermuda; Sally threatens Gulf Coast
Source: AP
MIAMI (AP) — Residents of Bermuda were urged to prepare to protect life and property ahead of Hurricane Paulette, which was forecast to become a dangerous hurricane Sunday as Tropical Storm Sally intensified in the Gulf of Mexico.
Paulette gained hurricane status late Saturday and was expected to bring storm surge, coastal flooding and high winds to Bermuda, according to a U.S. National Hurricane Center advisory.
Paulette had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) that were expected to strengthen as the system charted a curved course toward Bermuda, forecasters said. The biggest threats were strong winds, storm surge, up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) of rain and life-threatening surf and rip currents. The storm was 310 miles (500 kilometers) southeast of the territory Sunday morning.
It’s the strongest in terms of winds of six disturbances the center was tracking in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.

since that one's path seems to have it recurving back to the east as its move north after making landfall and we often get rain from the remnants of these storms as they move with a front.
This existing set of threats is wild! "Teddy" may be coming soon.
it was just blobs of convection - even on LWIR. I couldn't even find any center of circulation through all that. 
At least Paulette has some mojo hurricane spin and even TD-20 is trying to get its spin-on, despite the interference from the latest off the African coast that may end up being TD-21.
and the previous mission in there seemed to show a wild choice for where to deploy the dropsondes -
because the Western Atlantic Ridge ("Bermuda High" ) is usually right nearby. But right now, that has been displaced to the north and east and so things are rolling around accordingly to reflect that.
Almost a year ago this month, Bermuda was brushed by TS-Jerry, that had fortunately never made it beyond TS status and had become post-tropical by the time it reached Bermuda (due to being sheared apart and interacting with other systems in the area like Erin and Karen).
