Tropical Depression 8 is encountering dry air and wind shear. (See my previous post on how wind shear disrupted Invest 98L)

National Hurricane Center forecasters expect TD 8 to decay into a remnant low within the next 3 days. Some reliable computer models forecast a strengthening if the wind shear decreases. We’ll watch in for now. It still won’t affect the US.

Tropical Depression 8 has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, west of the Cape Verde Islands. National Hurricane forecasters think it may strengthen into Tropical Storm Grace before quickly weakening and then dissipating over the Eastern Atlantic.

If you want to track the storm, here’s a link to Tracking Hurricanes on my website, and the MYL Forums if you want to discuss the depression with other weather enthusiasts.
