Meteorological Analysis
|
Tropical depression 14 originated from a tropical wave which left the coast of
Africa on September 6th. A broad surface circulation formed along this wave
right after it left the coast, and convection formed over this circulation. By
September 8th the wave had organized enough to be considered a depression,
250 nm SE of the Cape Verde Islands. An upper level low induced the
depression to go NNW by the 9th, and shear started over the depression. The
depression became very disorganized and the center became separated from
the convection. On the 10th, the depression degenerated over the Cape Verde
Islands. Only some showers and breezes occurred in the islands.
