Kwi-200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), iliso leNkanyamba i-Irma ibekwe yi-radar kufuphi ne-latitude 23.1 North, i-longitude 80.2 West. I-Irma ihamba nje emantla entshona ngenxa yonxweme olusenyakatho yeCuba kufuphi ne-9 mph (15 km / h).
Intshukumo yasemntla ntshona kulindeleke ukuba iqale kamva namhlanje ngokujikela ngasemantla-ntshona ngeCawe. Kwi-forecast track, i-core ye-Irma iya kuqhubeka ihamba kufuphi okanye ngaphaya konxweme olusenyakatho yeCuba ngale mva kwemini kwaye iya kufikelela kwiFlorida Keys ngeCawa kusasa. Kulindeleke ukuba inkanyamba ihambe ecaleni okanye kufutshane nonxweme olukumazantsi-ntshona eFlorida emva kwemini ngeCawa.
Ubuninzi bemimoya ezinzileyo ikufuphi ne-125 mph (205 km/h) kunye nemimoya ephezulu. I-Irma luhlobo lwenkanyamba ye-3 kwi-Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. I-Irma iqikelelwa ukuba iza kuqinisa xa isuka eCuba, kwaye i-Irma kulindeleke ukuba ihlale iyinkanyamba enamandla njengoko isondela eFlorida. Inqwelomoya ye-NOAA ibhabha emoyeni isendleleni eya kuphanda i-Irma.
Imimoya yenkanyamba yenyuka inyuka iye kuthi xhaxhe ngeekhilomitha ezili-70 ukusuka embindini kunye nemimoya ebhudlayo ekhula ngamandla ukuya kuthi ga kwi-110 yeekhilomitha (195 km).
IINGOZI EZICHAPHAZELEKA UMHLABA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STORY STORY: Indibaniselwano yesaqhwithi esiyingozi kunye namaza aya kubangela ukuba iindawo ezomileyo ezikufutshane nonxweme zikhukuliswe ngamanzi. ukunyuka kwamanzi ahamba phakathi emhlabeni ukusuka elunxwemeni. Amanzi alindeleke ukuba afikelele kwezi zilandelayo EZINGAPHAKAMILEYO EZINGAPHEZU KOMHLABA ukuba isantya esiphezulu senzeke ngexesha lokunyuka kwamaza... I-Cape Sable ukuya eCaptiva...10 ukuya kwi-15 ft Captiva ukuya e-Ana Maria Island...6 ukuya kwi-10 ft i-Card Sound Bridge nge-Cape Sable, kuquka ne-Florida Keys...5 ukuya kwi-10 ft i-Ana Maria Island ukuya e-Clearwater Beach, kuquka i-Tampa Bay ... 5 ukuya 8 ft North Miami Beach ukuya Card Sound Bridge, kuquka Biscayne Bay...4 ukuba 6 ft Isle of Palms, South Carolina ukuya Fernandina Beach...4 ukuba 6 ft Clearwater Beach ukuya Ochlockonee River... I-4 ukuya kwi-6 ft i-Fernandina Beach ukuya e-North Miami Beach ... 2 ukuya kwi-4 ft Amanzi anzulu kakhulu aya kwenzeka kunxweme olusondeleyo kwiindawo zomoya olwandle, apho ukuqhuma kuya kuhamba kunye namaza amakhulu kunye awonakalisayo. Izandyondyo zezandyondyo zezandyondyo zixhomekeke kwixesha elizalanayo lokutyanda kunye nomjikelo wamaza, kwaye zinokwahluka kakhulu kumgama omfutshane. Ngolwazi oluthe ngqo kwindawo okuyo, nceda ubone iimveliso ezikhutshwe yi-ofisi yakho yoqikelelo yeNkonzo yeMozulu yeSizwe. Ukudityaniswa kwesaqhwithi esisongela ubomi kunye namaza amakhulu aqhekezayo kuya kuphakamisa amanqanaba amanzi NGAPHEZU KWE-NORMAL TIDE LEVELS ngamanani alandelayo ngaphakathi kwendawo yesilumkiso senkanyamba kufuphi nakumantla kwiziko le-Irma. Kufuphi nonxweme, ukunyuka kuya kuhamba kunye namaza amakhulu kunye awonakalisayo. I-Northwestern Bahamas ... i-3 ukuya kwi-6 ft kunxweme olusenyakatho yeCuba kwindawo yesilumkiso ... 5 ukuya kwi-10 ft UMOYA: Iimeko zeqhwithi kulindeleke ukuba ziqhubeke ngaphakathi kwendawo yokulumkisa i-hurricane ngaselunxwemeni olusenyakatho lwaseCuba namhlanje. Iimeko zenkanyamba zilindeleke kwiindawo ezisenyakatho-ntshona yeBahamas namhlanje, kwaye kwiindawo ze-peninsula yaseFlorida kunye neFlorida Keys namhlanje nangeCawa. Inkanyamba kunye neemeko zesiphango ezitshisayo zinokwenzeka ngaphakathi kwendawo yokubukela ngeCawa. IMVULA: I-Irma ilindeleke ukuba ivelise oku kuqokelelwa kwemvula kulandelayo ngoLwesithathu: I-Northern Cuba ... i-10 ukuya kwii-intshi ze-15, i-intshi ezizimeleyo ezingama-20. I-Cuba yaseMzantsi ... i-5 ukuya kwi-intshi ze-10, ihlukaniswe i-intshi ezili-15. I-Western Bahamas ... i-3 ukuya kwi-6 intshi, i-intshi eyodwa i-10 intshi. I-Florida Keys ... i-10 ukuya kwi-intshi ye-20, ihlukaniswe i-intshi ezingama-25. I-peninsula yaseFlorida kunye ne-mpuma ye-Georgia ... i-8 ukuya kwii-intshi ze-15, i-intshi ye-20 yodwa. Impuma yeFlorida Panhandle ... 3 ukuya kwi-6 intshi, ihlukaniswe i-8 intshi. Ukuphumla kwempuma yeGeorgia, intshona yoMzantsi Carolina, kunye nentshona yeNorth Carolina...4 ukuya kwi-intshi ezi-8. I-Western Georgia, empuma nakumantla e-Alabama, nakumazantsi eTennessee ... 2 ukuya kwi-5 intshi. Kuzo zonke iindawo le mvula inokubangela izikhukhula ezisongela ubomi kwaye, kwezinye iindawo, udaka. IZIQULATHO: Iinkanyamba ezimbalwa zinokwenzeka namhlanje nangokuhlwanje kumazantsi eFlorida. I-SURF: I-Swells eyenziwa yi-Irma ichaphazela i-Bahamas esezantsi-mpuma, i-Turks kunye ne-Caicos Islands kunye nonxweme olusempuma-mpuma ye-United States namhlanje. Oku kudumba kunokubangela ukusefa okusongela ubomi kunye neemeko zangoku zokukrazula.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- A northwest motion is expected to begin later today with a turn toward the north-northwest on Sunday.
- On the forecast track, the core of Irma will continue to move near or over the north coast of Cuba this afternoon and will reach the Florida Keys Sunday morning.
