A turn toward the west-northwest and a decrease in forward speed are expected on Monday followed by a turn toward the northwest on Tuesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and the depression is forecast to become a tropical storm on Monday. The latest minimum central pressure reported by the NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft was 1009 mb (29.80 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: The depression is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 1 to 4 inches over the southern half of the Florida peninsula and the Florida Keys through Wednesday. Isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches are possible over coastal areas of southern Florida and the Keys. This rainfall may cause flooding and flash flooding. WIND: Gusts to tropical storm force are possible in a few squalls in the lower Florida Keys through tonight.
Tropical Depression 9 Forecast Next Few Days
Hurricane models are much more aggressive than the global models today with this system, Most take it into the North Central Gulf of Mexico before turning it northeast although some models keep it moving northwestward.
Today’s European model (unlike last night’s) does very little with this and meanders it in the Gulf of Mexico before it dies out. Global models have been highly volatile and inaccurate with this for days now as have the more aggressive hurricane models. The best approach is to see what it does in the next 36 to 48 hours as the system moves into the Southeast Gulf of Mexico. Conditions there are forecast to become more favorable for development.
