This evening Tropical Depression #3 was becoming better organized over the South-Central Gulf of Mexico. Here are some quick facts:
Location: Near latitude 23.3 N, longitude 89.5 W, 395 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Movement: It was moving NNW at 13 mph. Should continue that for the next 24 hours.
Maximum Wind: Sustained at 35 mph with higher gusts.
Lowest Pressure: 1009 MB or 29.80 inches
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A Tropical Storm Watch continues for the Louisiana coast from the mouth of the Mississippi to Sabine Pass. This means that tropical storm conditions could occur there within 36 hours. That may be changed to a Tropical Storm Warning for part of the area by early Tuesday morning. Later tonight the depression could strengthen into a tropical storm. Reports from ships and floating data buoys located north and NE of the cneter show sustained winds between 33 and 38 mph, which is just below tropical storm strength.
Another advisory will be issued at 10:00 tonight and we will have an updated track forecast.
