Unofficially TD5 became a Tropical Depression Thursday
      Fri Aug 13 2010 12:12 AM Attachment (335 downloads)

This photo is courtesy of Stu Ostro; it is a photo of Slidell, LA radar at 4:15 am CDT August 12. He made a comment about how what isn't TD5 being more like a depression than upon the initialization of advisories. Last time I checked he works for the NWS in San Angelo, TX; he's no longer at the TWC. He's right, this is a Tropical Depression; not Sub-Tropical, not a Hybrid; the real deal. I looked at everything including Wind Shear, upper air charts and surface analysis. It is an important point to remember that there are examples where landfall doesn't necessarily spell doomsday for a system and on rare occasions actually strengthen either due to proximity to water or like LA, a lot of marsh and very warm water. For the better part of a day, the remnants of Tropical Depression 5 were a Tropical Depression.
