The fourteenth tropical depression of the Atlantic Ocean
hurricane season formed in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean today,
Friday, Sept. 28th, bringing three active storms in the Atlantic in
one week.
Hurricane Lorenzo just made landfall in eastern Mexico, and
tropical depression Karen is fizzling in the central Atlantic.
At 11:00 a.m. EDT on
Sept. 28, Tropical Depression #14 (TD#14) was located near 14.1
degrees north latitude and 26.5 degrees west longitude, or about
210 miles southwest of Africa's Cape Verde Islands.
The depression is moving toward the west near 7 mph. This
general motion should continue today with a gradual turn to the
northwest on Saturday, Sept. 29. TD#14's maximum sustained winds
are near 35 mph with higher gusts. Some strengthening is possible
during the next 24 hours. TD#14's minimum central pressure is 1008
millibars.
The image, above, was created from data from the
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-12), which
is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
It was created by NASA's GOES Project, located at NASA's Goddard
Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. It shows all three tropical
cyclones. Tropical Depression Lorenzo now over land in south-east
Mexico, Tropical Storm Karen in the central Atlantic Ocean, and
