Tropical Update (9/23/07)/Subtropical Depression (TD) 11 Forms in Open Atlantic
Hello to all….
The Tropics have become very active in the last couple of days with Subtropical Depression (TD) 11 forming in the open Atlantic west of the Azores. In addition, there are several other potential systems that may become Tropical Depressions in the next several days.
SubTropical Depression 11 has formed in the open Atlantic west of the Azores and is expected to take on tropical characteristics and become a tropical storm before being absorbed but a larger non-tropical system. If that were to occur, it would be named Jerry as Tropical Depression 10 made landfall in the Northern Gulf of Mexico prior to becoming a tropical storm. Sub TD-11 should remain over open waters and be no threat to land. Several other systems have the potential to become tropical depressions in the next few days and are being monitored per the National Hurricane Center Tropical Weather Outlook.
A broad area of low pressure in the Northern Yucatan Peninsula is moving into a favorable environment for intensification as it emerges into the Gulf of Mexico. An Air Force Recon Aircraft may investigate this system later today.
Another broad area of low pressure associated with a westward moving tropical wave about 450 miles east of the Windward Islands is continuing to get better organized. A tropical depression may form in this area during the next couple of days as it moves through the Windward islands.
Yet another tropical wave about 600 miles south-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands is showing signs of organization. This system also has the potential to become a tropical depression as it moves to the West at 15 MPH.
There is the possibility that we could have as many as 4 tropical systems to monitor over the next several days. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management team will continue to monitor the active pattern we now appear to be in across the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
