NOAA: Tropical Depression 11 Track, Spaghetti Models

MIAMI, Florida – NOAA’s National Hurricane Center issued a Public Advisory at 5 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Thursday, August 13, 2020, due to the presence of Tropical Depression Eleven (formerly Invest 95L) that is tracking near the Caribbean.

If T.D. 11 strengthens into a tropical storm, the next name on the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Names list is Josephine.

Tropical Depression 11 is located about 1075 miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles and is moving to the west-northwest at 15 mph (24 km/h).

NHC forecasters say that this general motion is expected to continue for the next few days followed by a turn toward the northwest late this weekend or early next week.

Spaghetti models are in strong agreement that Tropical Depression 11 will move west-northwestward across the tropical Atlantic then curve northwestward into the open Atlantic before the system reaches the Lesser Antilles.

The CMC computer model (yellow triangle) is the western outlier with a later curve towards Bermuda.

The GFS American model (purple square) forecasts a turn to the north towards Bermuda.

The official NHC forecast (red circle) is close to the latest NOAA corrected model consensus or HCCA.
