The center of TD7 was located near latitude 13.6 north and longitude 49.5 west, about 775 miles (1,245 km) east of the Windward Islands. EDT Tropical Depression 7's (TD7) maximum sustained winds were near 35 mph (55 kmh). Further development may also be prevented because of increasing southerly to southwesterly shear over the next couple of days.Īt 5 a.m. Satellite data on August 10 shows a well-defined circulation with a small band of thunderstorms and convection (rising air that forms the thunderstorms that make up a tropical cyclone) to the northeast of the center, but the circulation of the depression is not apparent on the GOES-13 imagery.Ĭurrently dry air surrounding the storm seems to be inhibiting further development. Tropical Depression 7 is struggling to organize on August 10, but conditions may improve over the weekend of August 11-12. Tropical Depression 7 Trying to Slowly Organize Radar in Puerto Rico during the morning of August 10 detected a line of showers associated with the remnants of tropical storm Florence just east of Puerto Rico and the U.S. The NHC gives this a near zero chance of redevelopment as it moves to the northwest. Those showers and thunderstorms appear as a small, disorganized area of clouds on the GOES-13 satellite image. The remnants are generating showers and thunderstorms. The remnants of Tropical Storm Florence is located several hundred miles north of Puerto Rico, near 23 North latitude and 67 West longitude.

The Remnants of Florence Linger Near Puerto Rico If that happened it will acquire a new depression number or a new name if it becomes a tropical storm. Ernesto's remnant circulation could regenerate in the Eastern Pacific Ocean after the weekend.Įrnesto's remnants are expected to move into the Eastern Pacific and possibly become a tropical cyclone again. The National Hurricane Center expects heavy rainfall over the next day or two over the Mexican states of Tabasco, Veracruz, Puebla, Oaxaca and Guerrero, which could cause life threatening flash floods and mudslides. The GOES-13 satellite image reveals the clouds associated with Ernesto over south-central Mexico, and just to the west of Ernesto lies another low pressure area off the coast in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Ernesto's maximum sustained winds were near 35 mph (55 kmh) and weakening. As Ernesto continues on its westward track at 15 mph (24 kmh), it is generating heavy rainfall. Ernesto is now a remnant low pressure area and continues to weaken over the mountains of Mexico as it moves toward the eastern Pacific Ocean. That places Ernesto's center about 215 miles (345 km) west-southwest of Veracruz, Mexico. EDT on August 10, the National Hurricane Center noted that Ernesto's center was near 18.0 North and 99.2 West. Tropical Depression Ernesto Dropping Heavy Rainfall Over Mexico's MountainsĪt 10 a.m. EDT) shows the four tropical cyclones marching across the Atlantic Ocean basin. An image captured on Augat 1145 UTC (7:45 a.m. GOES-13 provides continuous data that NASA makes into images and animations.

NASA's GOES Project uses data from NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES), and the GOES-13 satellite covers the Atlantic Ocean basin and the eastern U.S.
