Haiti Security Weather Flooding Cyclone-Risk June 9

According to:

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml


which we can subscribe to via news readers, and which is updated every 6 hours during hurricane season, FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO.

1. A LARGE AREA OF CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS MOVING WESTWARD ACROSS THE
WINDWARD ISLANDS AND THE SOUTHEASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA IS ASSOCIATED

WITH A TROPICAL WAVE. SURFACE PRESSURES REMAIN HIGH AND UPPER-LEVEL
WINDS ARE NOT CURRENTLY FAVORABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT.

THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...10 PERCENT... OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
"Tropical Cyclone" is a storm that can become a "Possible Hurricane." This is a low risk that impacts Haiti and the BP Gulf Oil Spill.

Basically most Haiti cities will get one clear day in five, where the rains can include occasional thunderstorms, and sometimes high winds (like around 20 km/h)

I have not seen a military police JOTC situation report since June 4, but the Red Cross did send out a June 4 Security Incident report.

Also Situation News 2010 June 4 – The UN Security Council authorizes more international police to Haiti. The forces added today boost the total number of international police in Haiti to 4,391, working alongside 8,940 military troops.
