Ingrid Rising? Hurricane Hunter Plane Heads for Storm
Tropical Depression Remains "Poorly Organized" But Could Grow in Strength
A NOAA Hurricane Hunter plan is flying toward Tropical Depression 8 to investigate the tropical depression tonight, as it moves slowly west-northwestward over the Atlantic some 865 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.
The chance of the disturbance taking shape as a tropical storm has diminished over the past day or so, but the National Hurricane Center believes it could still form a tropical storm within 12 to 24 hours. If it does become a tropical storm, it would be named Ingrid, the ninth named storm of the season.
The latest federral forecast calls for:
- 13-16 named storms
- 7-9 hurricanes
- 3-5 major hurricanes, rated Category 3 or higher
