Tropical Depression Ten Overshadowed


Tropical Depression Ten
Formed August 25th
Far Eastern Atlantic


While Hurricane Irene was barreling towards Bahamas and on to the East Coast of the United States, TD-Ten quietly formed in the far Eastern portions of the Atlantic Ocean.   We monitored this storm, which had a chance of becoming a stronger Tropical Cyclone, but fortunately, that never materialized.  Wind speeds never exceeded 35 mph which meant it would not be a named storm after all.
