Tropical depression 11 forms in Atlantic but poorly organized
KINGSTON, Jamaica – An eleventh tropical depression has formed in the Atlantic but the Meteorological (Met) Service of Jamaica says the system is no threat to the island at this time.
According to a release from the Met Service this morning, the tropical depression remains poorly organized with maximum sustained winds near 55 kilometres per hour with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is possible during the next couple of days, and the cyclone could become a tropical storm by Friday, it added.
“At 4:00 am the centre of Tropical Depression Eleven was located near Latitude 27.3 degrees north and Longitude 68.9 degrees west or about 675 km southwest of Bermuda,” the Met Service said.
The depression is moving toward the west near 4 km/h and meteorologists predict a gradual turn toward the northwest by Tuesday morning. This general motion should continue through Wednesday, the release said.
