Re: Tropical Depression Nine Forms in Atlantic

******************************************
looking at satellite images it looks as if Harvey is going to be around for awhile, it seems to be slowly moving SE if not stalling out

TD9 is beginning to elongate to the west, and will likely open up into a tropical wave within 48 hours because of the shear; if it holds together, the only land that will be threatened is SE Canada and *possibly* Bermuda

the system off of SC is poorly organized; i only see weak rotation, and i personally think the Gulf system has a better shot than the Atlantic one

other than that, it looks all clear for the weekend behind TD9

something else i just noticed
except for Dennis, everything this year has had the first TD advisory at 5pm (Dennis was 11pm)
