[edit] Summary
| Description |
Tropical Storm Florence is the sixth named storm of the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Florence started as a tropical depression north and east of the South American coast, and since forming on September 3, it has grown in power and size only very gradually. As of September 8, 2006, it remained a large but unorganized tropical storm system with a predicted track that was not likely to bring Florence over any major population areas. This photo-like image was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite on September 7 2006, at 3:00 p.m. local time (17:00 UTC). Tropical Storm Florence at the time of this image was a large arc of cloud only very loosely shaped in a circular pattern, and quite asymmetrically shaped. Florence had sustained winds of around 75 kilometers per hour (45 miles per hour) at the time this satellite image was acquired, according to the The University of Hawaii’s Tropical Storm information center. |
