(The red-shaded area denotes the potential path of the center of the tropical cyclone. It's important to note that impacts (particularly heavy rain, high surf, coastal flooding, winds) with any tropical cyclone usually spread beyond its forecast path.)The depression will bring gusty winds and up to 4 inches of rain to Bermuda late today into early Sunday as it quickly passes through before moving into the open north Atlantic.
Tropical Depression Five is expected to intensify slightly this weekend and is expected to become a modest tropical storm. When maximum sustained winds reach 40 mph, it will gain the name, Edouard.
When Edouard forms, it will become the earliest fifth named tropical storm to form, according to Dr. Philip Klotzbach.
The fifth tropical storm of the season typically forms around August 31st.
Tropical Depression Five has its origins in a spinning cluster of thunderstorms that developed over the Tennessee Valley Wednesday. The cluster, called a Mesoscale Convective Vortex (MCV), moved southeastward through Georgia and South Carolina, then moved off the coast.
From there, it slowly organized and wobbled around until becoming a closed low on Saturday morning.
The Origins of Tropical Depression Five
This MCV was a part of a larger stormy pattern that remains entrenched across the South that will continue to be monitored for additional tropical development through the upcoming week.
