   Donna Duncombe, chief meteorologist at the Freeport Weather Department, will also be addressing the group about Hurricane Noel and its impact on Grand Bahama.
   
   Duncombe said the conference was highly anticipated by both foreign and local weather personnel and was expected to be very informative and interesting.
   
   "We're looking forward to having a great time at this conference. With 100 meteorologists expected to be in attendance, we're looking forward to a good time of exchange among the group," she said.
   
   "Being able to exchange some of the concerns and issues we have in dealing with the general public is very helpful," she said.
   
   Duncombe noted that the 2007 hurricane season, although an active one with 15 named systems, was fairly quiet in terms of landfalling systems for the United States and The Bahamas.
   
   "We had the one system that moved through The Bahamas, hurricane Noel, which moved through as a tropical storm and became a hurricane just after it left, but we just had that one system out of the 15 storms that occurred during the season," she said.
   
   "We will also be looking at the climate factors that might have contributed to the activity of the season," she said.

   Chief Meteorologist of the Freeport Weather Department, Donna Duncombe, called Hurricane Wilma record breaking.
   
   "Wilma has set some records for us," she said. "She has tied the record for the number of named storms, which was set many years ago in 1933 with 21 named storms…She's now the 12th hurricane of the season."
   
   Ms. Duncombe said that Hurricane Wilma is a very dangerous hurricane, one that the northern Bahamas must watch carefully.
   
   "We should expect at least some tropical storm winds here, and of course, some pretty heavy rainfall by late Saturday afternoon to evening and into most of Sunday morning," she said.
   
   She said Bahamians should remain vigilant.
