TD #2 - Update 2

Good morning !! Nothing much has changed with tropical depression #2. It looks like a nice ball, but that is deceiving because most of the convection is on the east side of the storm. While it looks very nicely n satellite, convection has not wrapped completely around the center. Having said that, the tropical depression has not strengthen yet, but is expected to be a tropical storm sometime today or early tomorrow. Models still predict that it will continue to head west for a couple more days and then start to move WNW. At that point, TD #2 will slightly curve away from land and into the ocean. Attached is the tracking chart from the NHC. If anything changes during any of the advisories (11 AM and 5 PM), I will let you know. Stay tuned to Enrique6News for your hurricane season coverage.


P.S. – The National Hurricane Center has designated a "vigorous tropical wave" that came off Africa yesterday with a less than 30% chance of developing into a tropical system. I have been seen this wave for a couple of days now in computer models and I would say, based on what the models say, this storm will develop. More info on this later.


Have a great day !!
