Image acquired August 8, 2012
There are three storms in the Atlantic Ocean basin on August 8, 2012 that have caught forecasters attention at the National Hurricane Center and they were captured in one image from NOAA's GOES-13 satellite.
To the west lies Tropical Storm Ernesto, currently moving over Mexico. At 11:15 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, August 7, Belize radar indicated Ernesto made landfall along the southern Yucatan coast near Mahahual, Mexico as a category one hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 85 mph (140 kmh). At 10 a.m. EDT on August 8, Ernesto's maximum sustained winds were near 50 mph (85 kmh) and it was 265 miles (425 km) east of Coatzacoalcos, Mexico, near 18.7 North and 90.4 West. The National Hurricane Center expects Ernesto's center to emerge into the extreme southern Bay Of Campeche tonight where it is expected to re-strengthen.
The second area forecasters are eyeing is that of post-tropical storm Florence's remains, located about 450 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands. The remnants are still producing thunderstorms and showers, although it remains disorganized. The National Hurricane Center gives that low pressure area a "near zero" chance of becoming a tropical depression over the next couple of days.
Farthest east lies a low pressure area associated with a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic. It is about 700 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands and has a 30 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next two days, according to the National Hurricane Center.

THE END OF THE WORLD CLOSING TITLE I want to alert the whole world and everybody who don’t know, keep in mind that we don’t have too much time to take time for granted. We need to make all the moves necessary to get it all, before they try to cut everything and shut everything down, including us. People got to really realize that if we don’t take advantage of this stuff we have now, we might never be able to take advantage of it, this precious opportunity we have right now, we might never get it again. So all my people stay tuned and listen and see if you'll find some who are saying stuff like “Damn if I had just a little bit more time, if I only known before what I know now, things would be better. Would it? Is it too late? Damn is it too late?" Sunday 1 July-Saturday 4 August Thursday 9 August
