TROPICAL DEPRESSION 28 FORMS; LOCAL IMPACTS POSSIBLE MIDWEEK… The first projected path for newly-designated Tropical Depression 28 (hard to believe – 28!) is in. The National Hurricane Center in this first advisory shows very little movement for TD28 in the short term followed by a more rapid movement toward the northwest by Tuesday. TD28 will likely be Tropical Storm Zeta at that point as the storm approaches our area by Wednesday. Local impacts will become possible on Wednesday into Thursday across our region, specifically in the form of heavy rain being possible. Other impacts may become an issue but it is too early to be specific. We will need to be on guard, in the days ahead, for forecast changes specifically concerning local impacts. Tornadoes, storm surge, gusty winds near the coast, and other impacts may become possible.
