A New Tropical Depression Forms Over the Tropical Atlantic Ocean
Disaster Preparedness Officials here are monitoring a tropical depression, which has formed in the Atlantic Ocean.
According to the National Hurricane Center, in its first advisory about the system, Tropical Depression 11 is expected to strengthen over the next two days and become Tropical Storm Josephine.
Satellite imagery showed the depression has developed a less elongated circulation with a well-defined center, moving west at 16 mph, had 35 mph sustained winds and was located about 1,450 miles from the Lesser Antilles.
Significant weakening could happen as the depression moves toward the northern Leeward Islands later this week when it encounters a southwesterly shear that could tear the system apart. At this point, it’s not forecasted to become a hurricane.
Meantime, Director of Disaster Management Coordination Agency… DMCA Major Alvin Ryan, is encouraging residents to continue to closely monitor these developments
