Tropical Depression 2... Official

Fine.... talk for hours and now they make it official!

Sounds like a quick upgrade to Bonnie in the morning if the organizational trend continues.

Salient part of the Discussion is as follows:

"Dropsonde data from two NOAA aircraft on a research mission in and around the depression indicate surface winds near 30 kt in the eastern semicircle...and
this was used as the initial intensity for this advisory."

Score one for the dropsondes ... models are in good agreement and the track seems simple, if anything in the world of tropical weather is simple...though this should be simple.



NOW I am going to bed... sweet tropical depression dreams indeed...
