Hurricane Irma made its second landfall along Marco Island and then the Naples area. However, where is the storm on Monday?
See videos of the hurricane and scene as its presence started being felt in Naples after 3 p.m. Sunday.
The storm’s location changes by the second, obviously. How can you track the storm in real time with maps, satellites, and the like? There are a lot of great resources where you can get the most updated real-time images right now.
Here are some of the best sites you can use to track Irma in real time:
National Hurricane Center & National Weather Service
These are the sites that the news media most heavily rely on, and they’ve got constant updates on the storm. NHC also has updated satellite imagery. Here’s another look.
At 2 p.m, NHC reported of the storm’s location:
LOCATION…25.6N 81.8W
ABOUT 35 MI…55 KM S OF NAPLES FLORIDA
ABOUT 70 MI…115 KM S OF FT. MYERS FLORIDA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS…120 MPH…195 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT…N OR 350 DEGREES AT 12 MPH…19 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE…936 MB…27.64 INCHES
The National Weather Service also has a page with updated, thorough information on Irma. This is a great resource page from NWS that has a lot of real-time imagery, maps and the like. If you click on the “threats and impacts” tab, you can see maps you can customize for different areas of Florida to see local projections for things like wind speed and rainfall. Don’t forget to click through the other tabs at the top of the page at that link, such as for satellites, if you are looking for real-time movement of the hurricane.
Here’s a real-time U.S. infrared.
You can also search for any community in the U.S. in the National Weather Service page and get updated real-time maps for the weather in the area. For example, here’s Tampa. Just enter city, state or zip code in the top left box.
