TD 2

Monday, July 21st, 2014

Storm 92L has organized into Tropical Depression Two. As of the 5PM advisory, TD 2 had winds of 35 MPH and had a central pressure of 1012 MB. The storm is located more than a week away from the United States. Since it is a tropical depression with 35 MPH winds, it won’t take too much more to change into a tropical storm. If it does, it will be named Bertha.

I must say that this is very fast. There must be one heck of a hot spot in the ocean driving this.

Storm 92L

Monday, July 21st, 2014

There is a new tropical weather disturbance developing from a 1012 MB low in the mid-Atlantic. The storm is labeled 92L. This morning, the NHC had assigned a 20 percent chance that the storm would gain more organization. As of 11 AM, that had climbed to 50 percent. The NHC outlook states that the environment will worsen in a few days, which could keep the storm from gaining more strength.

As of the 8 AM model run, the tracks show the storm heading just south of Cuba and then into the Gulf in about six days. That track will of course change, they always do. In which direction the change will occur is the question.
