TWO NEW TROPICAL DEPRESSIONS FORM: ONE NEAR TEXAS, ONE IN ATLANTIC… The National Hurricane Center has initiated advisories on two new tropical depressions on this Tuesday. The first is Tropical Depression #11 located just offshore from Texas. That system will move westward into Texas tonight or tomorrow. The system is expected to be a tropical depression or a minimal tropical storm at landfall. There is basically zero chance of the system becoming a hurricane before landfall. This will be a big rainmaker for Texas with a significant flooding risk setting up for areas near Houston. There will be no local impacts from TD11 in south Alabama or northwest Florida.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 10 IN ATLANTIC… NHC has also started issuing advisories on Tropical Depression #10, located 1165 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. The depression will likely become a tropical storm tonight or tomorrow as it moves northwest. This will be a system to monitor closely in the days ahead as it passes near or perhaps just to the north of Puerto Rico. We note that most of the major global models show this system recurving into the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean in about 6-7 days as it nears The Bahamas. We all know a lot can and will change between now and then, however. Be sure to check back with me for updates in the days ahead on this developing system.
