Examples of Northward in a Sentence

1. Phil Klotzbach:

   The latitude at which easterly waves come off of the coast of Africa tends to shift northward over the next couple of months, so getting systems coming off of the coast at 8-10 ° N is fairly common for this time of year.

2. The NHC:

   Some slow development of this disturbance is possible during the next few days while it meanders near the coast of Mexico, a tropical depression could form late in the week when the system begins to move slowly northward.

3. Evan Myers:

   Kottlowski said. How fast or slow this non-tropical system moves will be an important factor on where Irma is steered this weekend into next week. The speed of this feature will determine when and how much Irma gets pulled northward or whether Irma continues on more of a westward track. This amount of uncertainty means that the entire southern and eastern U.S. should monitor Irma this week. Residents along the coast are urged to start preparing and making sure plans are in place to deal with the worst case scenario. This includes plans on how to evacuate and what is important to bring with you and your family. As we saw just 10 days ago with Harvey, it is important to be ready to evacuate, Evan Myers said. Be prepared with a list of items you would need to take if you had 30 minutes' notice or one hour's notice or six hours or a day to evacuate. Due to Irma following so closely on Irma's heels and since FEMA and other government resources will be strained, more preparation and storm aftermath may rest on individuals, Evan Myers said. It may be crucial to evacuate ahead of the storm, so preparation is key. If Irma were to make landfall as a Category 4 or 5 storm somewhere in the U.S., it would be in historical territory. The U.S. has not sustained a direct hit from two Category 4 or above hurricanes in more than 100 years.

4. The NHC:

   One complicating factor is that several of the models show a ridge building over the northwestern Atlantic Canada and Atlantic Canada, which could cause the storm to stay on a more northward track closer to New England than currently forecast.

5. Matthew Eby:

   Hurricanes are making their way northward. They’re making it latitudinally up to places they haven’t before, the second thing that comes along with that is they’re stronger.
