System 97L may not yet be a tropical depression, but it feels like it to the residents of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Hispaniola.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla. predicted that conditions were favorable for formation of a tropical depression or tropical storm from System 97L - an area of disturbed weather over Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite passed over that area on July 21 at 0136 UTC (July 20 at 9:36 p.m. EDT) and captured data used in a rainfall analysis. This rainfall analysis shows that intense rainfall was already affecting southwestern Haiti. Some areas are receiving up to 2 inches of rain per hour as System 97L continues to develop. |
