"No Name" only means that it is now a TD or STD.. it may, or may not, earn a name. Often this season we have seen systems go strait to naming, and "skip" the No Name phase, if you will. More typically, catches the formations quicker, and we have them up without a name, first.

Interesting if STD...don't every remember seeing one of those in GOM...seem to be more of an Atlantic issue.

I stand corrected. 10L was in transition but 93L was still up on their site. I'm wondering if I have a different link to that might update slower??
This was supposed to be a PM to Shawn.

From the NO Times
"Gov. Kathleen Blanco issued a state of emergency Thursday night that provides local emergency preparedness officials with additional powers, including the ability to require evacuations of areas threatened by flooding and of residents living in FEMA trailers. It also sets the stage for a request for federal assistance. "

Likely just a short matter of time before 10L is designated Jerry. Latest recon obs are finding surface winds out of the SSE,S, SSW already running up to 40knots. With convection continuing to fill in, and a reasonable warm core starting to show up in the data, we could see this transition close -enough to fully tropical later today to be labeled TS rather than STS.
IMHO, should this more complete tropical transition unfold within enough time before moving inland, it significantly raises the odds that, given enough time, 10L may strengthen further, with a not outlandish possibility of 10L becoming a hurricane - given enough time.
Tell ya what concerns me a little at the moment - a potential track generally westward, or wwnw, basically just offshore, in entirety, or for the most part. While there is not a lot of model support for this, there is a little, and that track is model-backed to some degree just by the model runs which take it inland, and then wnw. Should 10L not head inland, or well-enough inland, and then continue on a wwnw or w march, things could get ugly downstream. Should be watched. There have already been some big upside surprises this month.

Funny...I was saying the same thing on the weatherunderground site about the center consolidating further south and moving on a more westerly track. I'm here in the Houston area and I'm NOT saying we are COMPLETELY out of the woods yet with STD10...soon to be Jerry.

Just in.....
...DEPRESSION BECOMES TROPICAL...
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE SUBTROPICAL DEPRESSION HAS
ACQUIRED ENOUGH TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS TO BE CONSIDERED A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION.
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM APALACHICOLA FLORIDA
WESTWARD TO THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...INCLUDING NEW
ORLEANS AND LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN. A TROPICAL STORM WARNING MEANS THAT
TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THE WARNING AREA
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

the NOAA plane out there is finding about 60F temps at 5k feet... so along with sat... the transition to Tropical was coming... also Dewpoints are up there too... if we can get the winds now... we would have Jerry
ALSO looking at KEVX.. i think the TS is not to far off.. the center at the surface has mixed into the storms that i seen with a few lighting strikes... there are storms right there now towering very high... if NOAA makes another pass... (there south of PNS heading south..) we might find stronger winds... confined right there in the center....aka... the core is looking better to me...see if it hold!
this was the AF plane from this morning... see attachment... intersting flight path..(looks like a plane there)
**update... seeing winds around 40-45kts at about 5-6k ft on the left side of the "center"** **5,000ft** radar based from KEVX

Well the good thing is that 10 will run out of time. Even idf it took a due west coarse it is farther north now than the southern LA coast..based on the local radar here the ctr is probably just southwest of Panama City..with very slow movement...we have not had any weather yet here along the coast, and it looks like most of the squalls are east of the center..they have canceled the football games for most schools tonight though
-------------------- Erin 95 , Opal 95, Ivan 04, Dennis 05, and that's enough!!!!

Is now Tropical Storm Jerry.....
"Reconnaissance aircraft investigating the tropical depression over the
northeastern Gulf has found that the winds have increased to tropical
storm force within the system; thus the depression is now designated as
Tropical Storm Jerry with maximum winds near 40 mph. "

Just out from a paid subscription weather service..... a reliable source. I'm sure the NWS and will announce it at their next update.

I'm not seeing it either, and the recon reports I'm seeing don't support tropical storm classification. I see one SFMR wind of 32kt, at 2:25p ET, and a whole bunch in the 25-28kt range. In the most recent one that came in as I was typing this -- I see 5 at or above 30kt, including a 33kt report. (Note that these were all taken between 3:04 and 3:09p ET, after the post.)
I'm not saying that the report isn't true, I'm just saying that the paid subscription service may have jumped the gun -- especially given that it's been 20 minutes since the post and there has yet to be an update from the on their webpage or on their data feed. It's likely that this will be Jerry, if it isn't already...but I think someone was jumping ahead of themselves unless they have some data I'm not seeing.
