Original Post:

Tropical Depression 10 was downgraded to an open wave by the National Hurricane Center, and it is causing a lot of controversy. A recon aircraft was sent out today but could not find the LLCC (lower level circulation center). So this system officially still remains an open tropical wave. Although looking at visual satellite photos of the system it appears to have some sort of circulation, in any case this system is in a very favorable area for intensification and storm development and must be monitored. So we will be keeping a close eye on this one.

In the comments section (Forums) everyone is doing a great job in tracking this storm. Thank you and keep up the good work.
