It's a big sign ussually when they put NONAME is a TD but let's wait for a text or first advisorie to make it official.If that occurs this will be the main thread of discussion for TD#1.

Backup site of NRL has it to as a TD.

Sometimes there are errors. It still says invest on the back up site. But I believe it will be upgraded to a TD or TS by 11am anyway.

it is for me, the storm does not look very organized since it is getting sheared, and most of it is over cuba...

Cedar key is really tiny and does not take well to any storm surge at all. I keep hearing ppl say it'll turn sooner than later though so i would place it somewhere from tampa to cedar key or extreme eastern panhandle. That is if everything stays pretty much the same.

I don't think the system is moving much right now........your best bet would be to wait and see what recon finds as to the wind speeds, direction,etc.

At 0900 UTC 10 June 2006 a ship with call sign KSO49 I believe reported east winds (90 degrees) at 35 knots and a pressure of 1001 mb. The ship was located 75 miles north of the suspected system center near 22N and 85.8W (roughly).
At 0600 UTC 10 June 2006 a ship with call sign C6LU4 about 80 miles east of the center reported south winds (180 degrees) at 42 knots with a 1012 mb pressure.
Of course these synoptic reports need to be verified, but if true it looks like we have Alberto on our hands instead of a depression. However, the system is definitely sheared with the visible imagery showing a center about 25 miles west of the main convective cover.
Here's the link for the ship reports:

1001 mb? Pretty low for a TD.

Most models take the system towards northern Florida late Monday night and early Tuesday. But the models are still "all over the place," and I don't think anyone has a lot of confidence in them yet. So waiting until the center becomes better defined and the models become more clustered would be the wisest choice.
