...Information On A 1st Stage Tropical Cyclone Expected To Pass North Of Trinidad and Tobago... Tropical Depression Two formed Monday afternoon and is now about 600 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. While the systems persistence has been somewhat impressive, the overall environment for significant strengthening is poor. T.D. Two is working against a massive reservoir of dry air, and it will be encountering increasing wind shear (changing wind speed and direction with height) in the next few days. As a result, the official forecast dissipates the depression before reaching the Windward Islands Thursday. Whatever is left of the system may bring some showers to parts of the island chain. Nonetheless, we will monitor the storm closely over the next several days. The latest forecast path and wind speeds from the National Hurricane Center is added here. So, where exactly is the cyclones center located now? If youre plotting the storm along with us, the information depicted in the map below provides the latitude/longitude coordinates, distance away from the nearest land location, maximum sustained winds and central pressure (measured in millibars). The infrared satellite image shows how cold (and therefore how high) the cloud tops are. Brighter orange and red shadings concentrated near the center of circulation signify a healthy tropical cyclone. Via: The Weather Channel -Jonathan Mora- Manager
