Initial Advisory - Tropical Storm Ingrid - 06:00 Hrs CDT-USA, 14 September 2007
Tropical Storm Ingrid is one that we have been watching since it came off the African Coast as a tropical wave over a week ago. This Tropical Storm is a very slow mover heading west northwest at 6 MPH and is currently 800 miles east of the Lesser Antillies. Due to the slow movement, this storm will become better organized over the next several days and may reach low hurricane strength some time this weekend or early next week. However, the storm is encountering upper level wind shear and this may keep strengthening to a minimum for several days. The current track of this storm will place it northeast of Puerto Rico around Wednesday, September 19th.
We will post additional updates as needed.
