Quote: anyone think with the second system and the depression that we could make it to Franklin by the 15th?
It all depends on how the interaction with TD 5 results. Once TD 5 starts to pull away, which should happen once it gets picked up in stronger easterlies, I wouldn't be suprised at all to see it form. The NHC does say something about it in the 11:30 Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Atlantic.
"THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC CONTINUES TO BE UNUSUALLY ACTIVE FOR JULY...WITH A VIGOROUS TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT 700 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. ANY DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM...HOWEVER...IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO OCCUR."
