ARLX041 Hurricane Felix 2
As of 1500z, or 11 AM EDT/AST Tuesday, Hurricane Felix is 460 miles
ESE of Cape Hatteras, NC, moving WNW at 14 mph. It remains a
Category 1 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. Some
increase in strength is expected. If Felix were to take a direct
path for Cape Hatteras, the storm's center would arrive on Wednesday
afternoon, August 16. A hurricane warning is in effect from Little
River Inlet to Chincoteague, VA.
The Hurricane Watch Net is expected to be active on 14325 kHz as the
storm draws to within 300 miles of land. Amateurs are requested not
to transmit on this frequency unless directed to do so by net
control stations. ARRL North Carolina Section Manager Reed Whitten,
AB4W, reports that state emergency management has activated ARES.
