Tropical Depression 7

[skids]

This is the system that was following behind Florence and almost got eaten by her. But it managed to get split back off again and thrust southward after Florence moved on.

Probably won't hit anything.

THE SMALL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...THAT HAS BEEN MOVING SLOWLY ACROSS
THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS...ESCAPED TODAY FROM THE
NORTHERLY WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE
OVER HURRICANE FLORENCE. AS A RESULT...DURING THE PAST SEVERAL
HOURS THE DEEP CONVECTION HAS BEEN PERSISTENT AND HAS BECOME MORE
INVOLVED WITH THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER...AND ADVISORIES ARE INITIATED
ON TROPICAL DEPRESSION SEVEN. THE INTENSITY IS SET TO 25 KT BASED
ON THE 00 UTC DVORAK T-NUMBERS OF 1.5...AND ON AN OBSERVATION FROM
SHIP MSJX8 OF WEST-SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 27 KT JUST SOUTH OF THE
CENTER. COMPLETELY OPPOSITE TO WHAT FLORENCE HAS BEEN...THIS
DEPRESSION IS A SMALL CYCLONE. THE CIRCULATION IS PERHAPS 300 NM
WIDE AND THE DEEP CONVECTION IS CONFINED MOSTLY TO THE SOUTHERN
SEMICIRCLE.
