Primer parte del NHC sobre esta Depresión:
DATA FROM THE WFO TAMPA RADAR INDICATE THAT THE DISTURBANCE IN THE
EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER ORGANIZED
OVERNIGHT.
Datos del radar de Tampa indican que la perturbación situada en el E del GOM se ha tornado significativamente mejor organizada durante la pasada nocheTHE EXCELLENT RADAR PRESENTATION
AND DEEP CONVECTION SUGGESTS THAT STORM STATUS IS LIKELY TO BE
ATTAINED SOON
La excelente presentacion del radar, y la convección profunda sugieren que el estatus de Tormenta Tropical será alcanzado prontoVERTICAL SHEAR IS VERY LOW...AND THE INTENSITY
GUIDANCE FROM THE HWRF AND GFDL SUGGEST A MIDDLE-RANGE TROPICAL
STORM BY LANDFALL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT SOME ADDITIONAL
STRENGTHENING PRIOR TO LANDFALL
La cizalladura es muy baja, y la guia de intensidad de HWRF y GFDL dan un rango medio de Tormenta Tropical al tocar tierra. Debe tenerse en cuenta que algun desarrollo adicional es posible antes de que toque tierraTHIS IS A VERY SMALL TROPICAL CYCLONE...AND ITS EFFECTS ARE LIKELY
TO REMAIN RATHER CLOSE TO THE PATH OF THE CENTER.
Este es un ciclon tropical muy pequeño, y sus efectos permanecerán ligados al centro de la tormentaFORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS
