=> Current Tropical Weather Outlook For The North Atlantic Caribbean Sea And
The Gulf Of Mexico
A nearly stationary non-tropical low is centered about 375 miles
west-southwest of Bermuda. This system has the potential to gradually
acquire tropical characteristics over the next day or two.
Shower activity has diminished with the tropical wave moving westward
through the Lesser Antilles. Upper-level winds are becoming less favorable
and any development of this system will be slow to occur.
A very weak area of low pressure has developed in the north-central Gulf of
Mexico. Upper-level winds are expected to become more favorable for
development as the low drifts to the west or west- northwest over the next
day or two.
A tropical wave is located about 1600 miles east of the Windward Islands.
Some development is possible over the next day or two as this system moves
to the west.
The swirl of low clouds about 550 miles north-northeast of Puerto Rico is no
longer a significant weather system.
Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through Monday.

SPONSORSHIP NOTICE
Since 1994, The Sandbagger Corp. has manufactured sandbag filling
machines used by civilian and military agencies the world over for flood
control and back flooding from hurricanes. The United States Air Force,
Army Corps of Engineers and many of the cities in Florida have our
machines for this very purpose. The State of North Carolina bought four
of our machines during Hurricane Floyd. Our machines are currently being
used in Kosovo and have produced over 2,500,000 sandbags to date. We
have two types of machines, gravity fed and motorized. This is a
description of our MA Motorized Auger Model II,
System Components:
Sandbag filling machine to include four (4) filling stations
Safety Grid
Safety Shield
Auger and Agitator
Gas Engine
Hydraulic Motor
Vibrator (optional)
Description: This automated sandbag filling system is used to fill four
(4) sandbags simultaneously. It requires four (4) men to fill sandbags
and one (1) man to operate the front-end loader to keep the 2 cubic yard
hopper full. This unit is capable of filling at least 1600 bags per hour
using unskilled labor. It is also lightweight and pick-up truck
portable. This Sandbagger is equipped with a hydraulic driven
bi-directional auger and agitator to keep wet materials flowing.
