SUMMARY: The impacts of Hurricane Helen have severely disrupted Greyhound bus services, leaving many riders stranded and frustrated. Passengers arriving at a station on Highway 90 found no buses running and were denied entry to the lobby. One disgruntled rider, Sofa, expressed the distress of waiting outside without adequate shelter or information. Greyhound’s corporate office stated that due to limited resources, they cannot accommodate those not traveling with Greyhound or without tickets. Despite having rescheduled tickets, many passengers, including elderly individuals, remain stranded, highlighting the chaos caused by the hurricane and the challenges faced by commuters.

SUMMARY: Currently, there are three named storms and two areas of disturbed weather in the tropics. Tropical Depression 12, forming south of Cabo B islands, is forecasted to become Tropical Storm Kirk and potentially a major hurricane next week, likely moving into the central Atlantic without threatening the US. Tropical Storm Isaac is weakening, and Storm Joyce is expected to diminish to a remnant low soon. The main concern is in the Caribbean and Southern Gulf of Mexico, where a system may develop by midweek, but models suggest it could be relatively weak with uncertain Gulf Coast impacts.

Our main area of focus continues to be the Gulf of Mexico and Western Caribbean for possible development. An area of low pressure is expected to form in the area Tuesday or Wednesday. Some Gulf Coast impacts are possible by the end of the week and weekend.

We are also tracking Isaac, Joyce, and newly-formed Tropical Depression TWELVE.
