600 PM CDT SUN AUG 25 2013

AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATING TROPICAL
DEPRESSION SIX THIS LATE AFTERNOON FOUND FLIGHT-LEVEL WINDS AND SFMR
SURFACE WINDS THAT SUPPORT AN INITIAL INTENSITY OF AT LEAST 40
KT...WHICH CORRELATES WELL WITH THE MEASURED CENTRAL PRESSURE OF
1003 MB. AS A RESULT...THE DEPRESSION HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO TROPICAL
STORM FERNAND. THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR SOME ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING RIGHT UP UNTIL FERNAND
MAKES LANDFALL ALONG THE COAST OF MEXICO IN THE STATE OF VERACRUZ
IN ABOUT 12 HOURS...AND THIS IS INDICATED IN THE UPDATED OFFICIAL
INTENSITY FORECAST.

Not much of a storm, but give it time... then again

.....it doesn't have much time until landfall....

then again it got a name...

 

Looks like a trough to the north....worth noting 

Read the advisory on Tropical Storm Fernand.

This proves ONE point...the next named storm SHOULD be Gabrielle and she should be

a Cape Verde Storm... 

the hunt is on for the G storm...

Ps... my friend's wedding is over... was beautiful, beyond beautiful

there with a few of my closest friends from California and Miami... wow.

More later...though not much more to say on Fenand
