Tropical Depression #8 has just formed about 310 miles west of Bermuda. Maximum winds are around 30 mph. The system is expected to possibly strengthen to a minimal tropical storm as it moves toward the west-northwest. The system is then expected to curve out to sea before reaching land. With this forecast track, any impacts to SE VA, NE NC and the eastern shore will be minimal, although high swell and a moderate to high risk of rip currents are possible through the week.
TD 9 in the Gulf will be the one to watch if it makes landfall on the west coast of Florida..crossing over FL and moving out into the Atlantic over the very warm water. We've seen this scenario before. It fires back up and comes up the coast.
Surf's up?

I wonder why it's called TD 9, all I can think of when I see this is Total Disaster 9.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it can still be steered toward the coast?
