A cluster of storms just west of the Azores is currently trying to organize and intensify. The National Hurricane Center has designated it as Tropcal Depression Two. Deep convection is occurring to the west side of what appears to be the center of circulation. The area of interest will encounter fairly warm surface waters as it continues it's western track. With little upper level shear forecasted in the immediate future, the NHC is expecting the storm to slowly intensify, with a better than 50/50 shot of it becoming a tropical storm in the next 24 hours. It would be the first tropical storm of the season in the Atlantic, and would be named Ana. Stay tuned for updates!

LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 14.3 NORTH...LONGITUDE 35.0 WEST OR ABOUT 710 MILES...1140 KM...WEST OF THE SOUTHERNMOST CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. THE DEPRESSION IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST NEAR 14 MPH...23 KM/HR.

Aug 12 2009 22:10:07 And there is a vigorous wave moving off the African Coast line, which has a 50% chance of development. A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN THE CAPE VERDE
ISLANDS AND AFRICA IS ASSOCIATED WITH A VIGOROUS TROPICAL WAVE. SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS IT MOVES TO THE WEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH. THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30 TO 50 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. |

I would appreciate it if you would post that stuff in the Tropical Depression Two thread. ludalovestornadoes wrote: And there is a vigorous wave moving off the African Coast line, which has a 50% chance of development.
