400 AM CDT SAT JUL 30 2011 ...DON RAPIDLY WEAKENS TO A REMNANT LOW...THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY... |
Early Wednesday morning on July 27, we began monitoring a thunderstorm area 50 miles northeast of Cancun. Conditions appeared to be favorable for it to become a tropical depression within 24 hours. At 4 PM CDT, NHC issued its first advisory for Tropical Storm Don after a hurricane hunter aircraft flew through the storm and measured winds at around 40 MPH. This becomes the fourth named storm of the 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
On the forecast track, the center of TS Don should move through the southern and central Gulf of Mexico tonight and Thursday, approaching the coast of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico on Friday. Some strengthening is predicted before it makes landfall. After making landfall, the storm should lose strength and become a remnant by Sunday.
