Re: Tropical Depression #6 Forms East of Caribbean

This may be interesting to some...

Barbados is located at 13N/59.3W

As of the 8:05, TD6 is located at 12N/59.3W.

So, the TD is currently passing due S of the Isle of Barbados at a distance of 60 nautical miles.

Now...why that is particularly interesting for me is because they are reporting 2 consecutive hours of sustained 30+mph winds from the E. For a system of mere TD ranking, 60N miles is heck of a lot of distance to be effecting that kind of wind speed.

There could be other explanations, of course, but could it be that we have TS already?

Stay tuned!
