Meteorological Analysis
|
Tropical depression 7 originated from the tropical wave remnants of tropical depression 6.
On July 21st TD 6 dissipated, and the remnant tropical wave of it continued west into the
Caribbean. On July 23rd an area of deep convection associated with the wave crossed
Hispaniola. This area neared the South Florida coast on the 24th, and a low level circulation
associated with the convection moved north with convection, paralleling the Florida
coast. The low level circulation and associated convection organized into TD 7 on the 25th.
The depression was initially 50 nm E of Daytona Beach, Florida. The depression
organized little as waters were cool and pressures were high. The depression then made
landfall on the Georgia coast with its max winds of 35 mph on the 26th. Radar indicated that
the depression was disorganized at landfall. The depression dissipated over Georgia on the 27th.
