Tropical Depression (TD) #8 and TD #9 Form In the Atlantic and Gulf
Hello to all….
Tropical Depression (TD) #8 has formed east of the Lesser Antilles. TD #8 is expected to intensify and is expected to become a tropical storm later today or Thursday. This system poses no immediate threat to land as of yet but the system will be monitored.
Tropical Depression (TD) #9 has formed in the Northwest Gulf of Mexico. TD #9 is expected to reach tropical storm strength before making landfall in Texas. It is not expected to reach hurricane strength before landfall but this will be monitored.
If TD #8 and TD #9 intensify to tropical storm intensity, they would be named Humberto and Ingrid respectively and they would be named depending on which one intensifies to tropical storm status first. The first one that intensifies to TS status will be given the name Humberto and the second one that intensifies to TS status will be given the name Ingrid.
The VoIP Hurricane Net Management team continues to monitor the Tropics carefully. Advisories can be obtained via the National Hurricane Center web site at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov or via the VoIP Hurricane Net web site at http://www.voipwx.net and clicking Atlantic Tropical Products from the Main Menu.
