Tropical Depression Weakens & Is No Longer

Reorganization and Strengthening No Longer Likely

Latest observations from buoys, satellite and reconnaissance aircraft indicate that Tropical Depression Five has faded and no longer is a depression.


Officially, the latest information concerning the depression, as of 4pm CT:

Location: 28.3 N 87.6 W or about 170 miles south of Mobile, Alabama
Maximum Winds: 30 MPH
Movement: NW at 12 MPH
Pressure: 29.80”

The tropical storm warnings that were in effect for the Gulf Coast have been lifted and are no longer in effect.

The remnants of the depression will continue to lift off to the northwest through the remainder of this evening and tonight and will move onshore near Bay St. Louis during the morning hours on Thursday and continue to slowly drift north through Mississippi into Friday before turning more northeasterly through the weekend.






This track will allow deep, gulf moisture to lift northward into Alabama and this will lead to an increase in scattered showers and storms this weekend. Where the rains fall, some cooling relief from the heat will be felt. Where they don’t, it will be just “humiserably” hot.
