Re: TD#10 Forms in East Atlantic, Hanna Slowly Drifting, Ike Moving, West, Gustav Over Land

I second this view (of TD #10). It's not in visible on GOES, so no floater yet. However, we did have an IR pass recently from another satellite.

Definitely looking like a TS or weak hurricane. I would be surprised if we don't see an upgrade at 11am. It's so far out at sea that they won't do a special alert upgrade; they only do those when storms are near land.

About 2 hours ago, a ship reported 1009mb pressure about 13nms from the TD 10.

Hanna is looking anemic, though she's still trying to fire convection. A lot of shear affecting her.

Ike is looking very disorganized still, but he's got a lot of time to organize before land.

Edit - added ship data
