Re: TD#2 and look to the GOM

Here's a link for you to determine the quick intensification of Hurricane Camille.

These ESSA 9 satellite pic shows Camille's development over a 5 day period. They are rather low resolution and only the date is shown. I've read some archives somewhere that there was indeed a cold/ cool front moving into MS/ LA from the NW, and it gave the forecasters a bit of a problem.
Some of the forecasters that followed Camille:
Tropical Storm Camille advisory #1 was signed by "Simpson", of the Saffer-Simpson scale.
Advisory #4- signed by Neil Frank- now a Houston Met.
And Advisory#6- signed by the late, great John Hope-WxChan
