Subtropical depression forms in Gulf of MexicoPosted Sep21, 2007 at 11:07 AMThe system that has been monitored the last couple of days as it moved west across Florida has become a subtropical depression in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. To refresh your memory, a subtropical system is one displaying characteristics both tropical in nature and those more like a regular low pressure system. The circulation is broader than a purely tropical system. It is expected to mature into a tropical storm later today, either Jerry or Karen depending on whether it or a circulation out in the central Atlantic develops into a storm first. The central Gulf coast will be affected by the storm. |
