Wednesday Morning Update
Cindy (not really) a tropical storm
The Weather Situation
A reconnaissance aircraft is investigating the circulation of Tropical Storm Cindy this morning. It will find what satellites are showing.... a weak, elongated low level circulation with deep convection mostly placed well east of the center. With ones imagination, this still may be call a sub-tropical storm. It is certainly not a tropical storm.
Winds were increased from 45 to 60 mph from winds observed from a hurricane hunter last evening. In practicality, winds are definitely lower than this with sustained winds probably closer to the original 45 mph.
Current Tropical Weather
As of 7 AM CDT Tropical Storm Cindy was centered at 27.5 N / 92.2 W or 165 miles SSW of Morgan City, Louisiana. It was moving NW at 8 mph. Top sustained winds are estimated at 60 mph. Pressure was estimated at 996 mb.
Tropical Weather Forecast:
Cindy is still forecast to drift NW toward the Louisiana / Texas border overnight tonight.
