TROPICAL DEPRESSION THIRTEEN DISCUSSION NUMBER 5
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
11 AM EDT WED AUG 31 2005

TROPICAL DEPRESSION THIRTEEN WHICH BECAME A BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO HAS RE-GENERATED INTO TROPICAL
DEPRESSION STATUS. THIS IS BASED ON DVORAK CLASSIFICATIONS OF 2.0
FROM TAFB AND SAB AND A SSM/I MICROWAVE IMAGE AROUND 10Z WHICH
SHOWS A CONVECTIVE RING ASSOCIATED WITH THE CENTER. VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW A WELL-DEFINED CYCLONICALLY CURVED CONVECTIVE
BAND TO THE EAST OF THE CENTER BUT THE OUTFLOW IS RESTRICTED. IT
APPEARS THAT THE DEPRESSION IS VERY NEAR TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH
AND IF IT NOT ONE NOW...IT COULD BE ONE LATER TODAY. NO SIGNIFICANT
STRENGTHENING IS EXPECTED THEREAFTER.

THE DEPRESSION IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST OR 040 DEGREES AT 11
KNOTS BETWEEN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST AND LOW TO THE
NORTHWEST. STEERING CURRENTS ARE FORECAST TO BE POORLY DEFINED
DURING THE NEXT 2 TO 3 DAYS AND THE DEPRESSION COULD TURN MORE TO
THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AROUND THE CIRCULATION OF THE LOW TO THE
NORTHWEST AND A BUILDING HIGH TO THE SOUTHEAST. THIS TRACK IS IN
BETWEEN THE GFDL AND CLIMATOLOGY.

Now if they all could be like Lee, I would love to see us get through Wilma to Alpha, Beta.....

[Buck]

Already to Lee and It's not yet the first day of September.

[therealashe]

I was almost afraid to open this thread.


<sigh> and it's only Sept.


Signed,

Weather weary in FL

[Andrew92]

On this day in 1933, the 12th storm of that year formed as well. Of course, in 1995, we were already tracking Luis.

Now we wait for Maria to form....she has until 9/8 to beat the record, but further discussion on that should be done in a different topic.

[Brent]

10 more named storms and it's Hello Alpha.

[PuertoRicoLibre]

It seems that Maria is likely to form out of Invest92, according to the models Luis shared. And it is going to happen well before Sept. 8., thus pushing us ahead of the 1995 M storm. When was the M storm formed in 1933?

It seems that Maria is likely to form out of Invest92, according to the models Luis shared. And it is going to happen well before Sept. 8., thus pushing us ahead of the 1995 M storm. When was the M storm formed in 1933?

In 1995, the 13th TS formed on Sep 13.

The record, however, is shared by 1933 and 1936... Sep 8.

We may not have broke a record with Lee... but it looks like Maria will...

[Buck]

And possibly Nate as well..

[Courtnay Mccullers]

Opal didn't form until October in 1995.

[lester]

Already to Lee and It's not yet the first day of September.

I'm beginning to think we need to start a fundraising campaign for the forecasters at the NHC. They're all going to need a vacation at the end of this season!

[dwg71]

Does anybody know what date 13 was classified as a depression? Was it yesterday?
