Tropical Depression 7 has formed 430 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands in the Atlantic and could become Tropical Storm Earl if it picks up strength,the National Hurricane Center reported Wednesday.
TD 7 is moving west at 17 mph with 35 mph winds, just below the threshold of 39 mph needed to give the depression a name.
“The depression will likely become a tropical storm later today and there is unusually warm water over the tropical Atlantic,” according to a hurricane center analysis. “The conditions are expected to remain favorable for intensification.”
Jim Rouiller, senior energy meteorologist at Planalytics Inc. in Berwyn, Pennsylvania said the depression is not likely to threaten land.
“More likely than not it will remain an oceanic storm," said Rouiller.
TD 7 joins Hurricane Danielle out in the Atlantic Ocean and is the season’s fourth named storm. Hurricane Danielle is the season's second hurricane and at a Category 1 storm, it is the lowest on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale.
Forecasters say Danielle will intensify in the next two days and will probably turn north, passing east of Bermuda on Aug. 29. Danielle has sustained winds of 85 mph, moving west-northwest at 17 mph. At 11 a.m. Wednesday (EST) she was approximately 710 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands.
