Updated Position Report on TD # 3

In the official 4:00 p.m. advisory, the National Hurricane Center did not upgrade TD #3 to a tropical storm status, so it is still not known as Cindy.

The tropical depression is trying to reform over the south Gulf of Mexico north of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Tropical Storm Watch now posted for the Louisiana coast from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Sabine Pass. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area in about 36 hours.

QUICK BASIC DATA:
4:00 p.m. Position: Latitude 22.8 N, Longitude 89.2 W, about 435 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Movement: Toward the NNW at 12 mph. That should continue for the next 24 hours.
Maximum Sustained Winds: 35 mph
Central Pressure: 10.10 MB or 29.83 inches
Next Advisory at 7:00 p.m.

We will have other notes on the blog before then.

Great variation between models on the future track. Will discuss that later.
