Tropical Depression Eight no threat to land
Posted by: Dr. Jeff Masters, 12:24 PM GMT en Septiembre 26, 2009 +2
Tropical Depression Eight formed last night near the coast of Africa, but is not destined to threaten land, and has only about a 50/50 chance of becoming Tropical Storm Grace. While wind shear is a moderate 10 - 20 knots, Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are right at the threshold for tropical storm formation--26°C. There is only a small amount of dry air that is interfering with the storm, but the combination of cool SSTs and moderate wind shear will make TD 8 slow to organize. By Monday, shear is expected to reach a very high 25 - 30 knots, and this should tear the storm apart.

None of the computer models are forecasting tropical storm formation elsewhere in the Atlantic over the next seven days.

El Nino winters are generally wetter and cooler for Florida


I mean in the sense of no more Summerlike humidity and stalled fronts. lol



If the trough weather pattern stays consistent on the East coast. There could be some very large Ice and snow storms for the SE and NE this winter.

Re Post 528.
Hmmm, nowhere in the blog rules do I see anything about having to speak English. I do see rules that say people shouldn't be inappropriate or rude. You've been flagged.

ex TD08's convection looks more impressive than it ever did while it was designated a depression--hope its remnant doesn't wander the Atlantic for weeks the way FredEx did. I was on vacation but that must have been annoying!


I agree its the best it has looked since... ever XD
