NASA views new Atlantic tropical depression in infrared NASA/Goddard Space
By Wednesday, the Gulf low pulls onshore in the Panhandle, and the tropical cyclone southwest of Bermuda begins turning more northerly.
Forecasters say they expect Tropical Depression 11, which formed yesterday evening, to gain strength later today and become Tropical Storm Joaquin, but it poses no threat to land.
Tropical Depression 11 will contribute to rounds of drenching showers and locally gusty thunderstorms in Bermuda this week while drifting northwestward. Current Status (09:00 UTC Monday September 28): The Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) has the center of Niala located close to 15.1°N 156.4°W, about 330 Michigan (530 km) south-southwest of Hilo, Hawaii. Hurricane weather models move T.D.
– Inland flooding: The dry conditions will help limit the inland flooding threat.
– Winds: Later this week, winds will become northeast and intensify.
According to a release from the Met Service this morning, the tropical depression remains poorly organized with maximum sustained winds near 55 kilometres per hour with higher gusts.
Weakening is expected to commence on Tuesday as Marty encounters cooler sea surface temperatures and moderate shear.
Heavy rain is also anticipated which could lead to possible flooding impacts should heavy rain focus over a particular area for a short period of time.
